NVIDIA GPUs Accelerate DNA Sequencing at BGI

NVIDIA today announced that BGI, the world's largest genomics institute, is launching a service that will enable researchers worldwide to perform affordable next-generation sequencing (NGS) bioinformatics analysis in the cloud.

The new "EasyGenomics" service from Shenzhen, China-based BGI combines an intuitive user interface with BGI's automated pipeline analysis, software and tools. These are integrated with the industry's largest sequencing platform to provide everything biologists, bioinformaticists and, ultimately, physicians need to submit and receive an automated analysis of DNA sequencing data.
