Hey john mark. I saw that you recently mentioned some work using gluster for sequencing data (where there are alot of intermediates, and sometimes, huge raw input data sets that get denoised). http://184.106.200.248/2012/07/improving-high-throughput-next-gen-sequencing/ Well, today fredrick sangar, the guy who pretty much created the technology necessary for generating "bioinformatics" data, has passed away. In honor of fredrick sanger, it might be interesting to see a community post on all the genomics and bioinformatics organizations out there using gluster to store tera/pedabytes of genomic or bioinformatics data. http://www.genengnews.com/gen-news-highlights/frederick-sanger-father-of-genomic-era-dies-at-95/81249136/ http://www.eaglegenomics.com/2013/03/glusterfs-vs-a-future-distributed-bioinformatics-file-system/ anyways, just a thought -- Jay Vyas http://jayunit100.blogspot.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
