Analysis of genomic data

Genomic data analysis aims to provide biological interpretation and insights from genomics data and help drive innovation. It is like any other data analysis with the exception that it requires domain-specific knowledge and tools. With the advances in NGS technologies, it is estimated that genomic research will generate significant amounts of data in the next decade. However, our ability to mine insights from this big data is lagging behind the pace at which the current data is being generated. As new and more high-throughput genomic data is getting generated, data analysis capabilities are sought-after features for researchers and other scientific professionals in both academia and industry.
