Genomics With Cloud Computing

Genomics is study of genome which provides large amount of data for which large storage and computation power is needed. These issues are solved by cloud computing that provides various cloud platforms for genomics. These platforms provides many services to user like easy access to data, easy sharing and transfer, providing storage in hundreds of terabytes, more computational power. Some cloud platforms are Google genomics, DNAnexus and Globus genomics. Various features of cloud computing to genomics are like easy access and sharing of data, security of data, less cost to pay for resources but still there are some demerits like large time needed to transfer data, less network bandwidth.
