National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) Platform for Genomics and Drug Discovery : Development of a fast, flexible, high performance computing framework to accelerate NGS omics-data analysis Massively Parallel Sequencing or Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has taken the scientific community by storm. After commercial availability of the technology from last decade onwards, even modest sized laboratories and institutions all over the world can effectively produce petabytes of data in weeks. This revolution in data generation technology, warrants an array of statistical and computational advancement to translate information into knowledge. The stumbling blocks in translating the large volume of data (information) to biologically relevant inferences (knowledge) range from (a) information storage, retrieval of the raw data as-is generated from the sequencing machine - (b) large-scale fast computation and processing that is essential for the data to be useable by the general scientific community – (c) sophisticated analysis that is required in transforming the enormous information to knowledge. The objective of this project was to make available an easy and extremely flexible supercomputing analysis framework, preferably web-based, to the basic scientist. This would enable them to exercise their choice of programs sequentially in a seamless fashion to process the raw sequence data in accordance with their need and choice. It will also provide the research a wide array of tools for sophisticated data-analysis. The project is in a stage where we now require a specialist who can work with large scale genetic data and has familiarity with the data analysis and handling programs.
