Check out NVBowtie. We don't use standard CPUs to do the alignment. The benchmarks were ran on 2 Nvidia K80s which were in the same blade. To scale it, you need Infiniband between the blades (found this out the hard way). The genomes a

No one is using it yet. Still just a side project :) Seven Bridge & DNAnexus probably have the most complete/thorough system (imo). The challenge though is doing it fast, at scale, and user friendly enough. Seven Bridges is cost ef

Assuming you're referring to the alignment side of things. We use a variation the Bowtie2 algorithm that allows us to align multiple genomes at once to the same reference genome.

Thanks. We're pretty excited about it. There's lots of big challenges to solve, especially on the data from. Full 30x coverage of a human genome is (uncompressed) around 180gb. So the core problem we're trying to solve right

I'm a product manager. Side project is building a genome data ingestion pipeline with my dad. We're both really passionate about giving people a faster and cheaper solution to processing genome data. Current project is to allow re
