The great conflagration of genomic luminaries known as AGBT is once again upon us. Getting it in just under the wire, we’ll be releasing the Ion Torrent plugin for the MiniLIMS platform at this meeting.

Previous posts in this series: Ion Torrent Server API, I’d like to introduce you to the MiniLIMS API The MiniLIMS 4 column table and it’s PHP manifestation, the TypeInstance A quick round of applause for the Ion Torrent Server API Bioinformatics has been notorious for the tension between public, supported access to data and algorithms [...]
Previous posts in this series: Ion Torrent Server API, I’d like to introduce you to the MiniLIMS API Name-value pairs If you’ve done any data modeling or database design in the last few years, particularly in bioinformatics, you’ve probably run across a name-value pair construct. Name-value pairs are often used when you have a variable [...]
A PDF version of the MiniLims poster presented at the 2011 AGBT meeting is now available.
Presenter slides from the 2009 Storage for Next-Generation Sequencing Workshop(s)
On September 20th 2009, BioTeam will be hosting a pre-conference workshop on Data Management & Storage issues for Next-Gen sequencing shops in conjunction with the 2009 “Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis” conference hosted by CHI: More info: http://www.healthtech.com/sda?c=6910
Bill Van Etten has a piece in the April 2008 issue of Genetic Engineering News. Excerpt: “…One terabyte of data is not large by today’s standards. An external terabyte disk can be purchased for less than a few hundred dollars at any office supply store. Accumulating one terabyte per day, maintaining it for rapid online [...]
Excerpt: “As more and more labs adopt next-generation sequencing technology, they are finding that the new instruments are straining their current informatics infrastructures — a challenge the groups are trying to meet with a wide range of different solutions.”
Bill Van Etten spoke at the ISMB 2007 meeting about next-generation sequencing and the use of a single 8 core system plus RAID array as an alternative to a cluster.
