Evolving Considerations for Data Storage in Life Sciences

June 5, 2019

The latest lab instruments are driving the need for powerful IT resources in the life sciences, including data storage. Laboratory technologies are evolving rapidly. The latest instruments for life science research enable scientists to visualize highly detailed 3D models of protein molecules and assemble genomes in a fraction of the time they could in the past.New lab instruments are also producing tremendous amounts of data. For example, in the field of genomic research, nextgeneration sequencing (NGS) instruments can output 1 TB of data per hour. Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is another burgeoning field that can produce massive data volumes. With cryo-EM, researchers study protein molecules at cryogenic temperatures, taking numerous images of each molecule and constructing 3D models. Researchers then use those models to study cancer at a molecular level and develop strategies for combating emerging viruses, such as Zika. The cryo-EM workflow can generate 5 TB of data in 24 hours.

Manual Replication of MySQL Database Using MySQL Workbench

whitePaper | December 19, 2022

When an Azure region is not available due to issues at the Datacenter level, this should not affect the availability of data. Hence, database replication is required to avoid data loss at any given point in time. Some Microsoft Azure regions do not support Azure database replication in different regions. (Refer to the image given below) To overcome this, manual replication of MySQL database using MySQL workbench is the only feasible option.

Evolving Role of Data Scientist in the Age of Personalization

whitePaper | March 12, 2020

This point of view is an exploration of the possibilities engendered by rethinking the role of data scientists in the wake of industrial revolution. It might be claimed that current trends in industrial revolution reflect a paradigm shift towards data centric processing with data science playing an increasingly critical role. This point of view also explicitly highlights the potential role of Data scientists as an emerging phenomenon, and then to show some of the benefits that this role can bring as we move towards industrial disruption

Why Graph is Key to The Modern Master Data Management Movement

whitePaper | August 1, 2022

The Graph database is fundamental to driving a much-needed breakthrough in the world of Master Data Management (MDM). Until now, traditional MDM systems have imposed strict rules and structures on how these projects are managed. This has cost enterprises dearly in terms of wasted time and resources and has been a major contributory factor to the failure of many MDM initiatives. Graph has changed all of that, allowing modern MDM platforms to completely redefine how master data is prepared for insight and used to deliver tangible business outcomes.

Forecasting the future of genomic data management

whitePaper | May 15, 2023

Genomics is the study of the complete set of DNA in a person or other organism. DNA underpins a large proportion of an individual's health and disease status, therefore a genomic medicine approach is increasingly being applied in clinical settings. Genomic medicine is where the study of clinical outcomes (measurable changes in health and well-being) is combined with genomics so researchers can better understand how a person’s genome contributes to disease. Increasingly, advances in our understanding of the genome are contributing to improvements in disease diagnosis, drug discovery and targeted therapeutics.
