Abstract

Today we can generate hundreds of gigabases of DNA and RNA sequencing data in a week for less than US$5,000. The astonishing rate of data generation by these low-cost, high-throughput technologies in genomics is being matched by that of other technologies, such as real-time imaging and mass spectrometry-based flow cytometry. Success in the life sciences will depend on our ability to properly interpret the large-scale, high-dimensional data sets that are generated by these technologies, which in turn requires us to adopt advances in informatics. Here we discuss how we can master the different types of computational environments that exist - such as cloud and heterogeneous computing - to successfully tackle our big data problems.

  • The exponential increase in the volume of genomic data due to sequencing technology advancements necessitates WGA algorithms that can handle large datasets efficiently and accurately.

    “The exponential increase in the volume of genomic data due to advancements in sequencing technologies necessitates WGA algorithms that can handle large datasets efficiently and accurately [76].”

    From Whole-Genome Alignment: Methods, Challenges, and Future Directions (2024) · cites this paper as [76]

    The Abstract and Perspectives describe rapidly growing genomic data from sequencing advances and the need for large-scale computation. The MapReduce section discusses scaling sequence-read alignment, but the paper does not specifically establish a need for whole-genome alignment (WGA) algorithms that are both efficient and accurate.

  • Training modules and review papers that describe typical workflows or common challenges and solutions for life scientists working with large, complex datasets fall short in that they do not simultaneously offer step-wise, reproducible, and practical guidance.

    “While training modules and review papers exist that describe typical workflows or common challenges and solutions for life scientists working with large, complex datasets (Schadt et al., 2010), these resources fall short in that they do not simultaneously offer step-wise, reproducible, and practical guidance.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
