Enhance your -omics Insights in Medicine and Beyond using Cloud-Scale Bioinformatics
When a $30M research endeavor plans to create over 400TB of multi-omics data, the cloud is the obvious option for scale and performance. A large research organization out of the Southeastern U.S. partnered with BlueGranite to provision a secure environment to house their genetic data. Built using Azure Data Lake and Azure Data Factory, we can collect data from constituent research groups and allows for the secure management and control over the data assets in the data lake. Plus, future enhancement will include scalable analyses using Azure Databricks to gain insights from this massive amount of human health information.
Collaborative Framework: Working with academic research groups and enterprise IT architecture, we created a solutions for uploading and using data while retaining security.
Solution Design and Security: The team worked within the constraints of the Azure Government Cloud to create a scalable genomics data lake while ensuring NIST 800-171 compliance for data security.
Data Lake-Centric: For this solution, exome sequences along with phenotypes, proteomics, methylomics, and more needed to be logically organized for future cohort-based analyses. By using Azure Data Lake, the heterogeneous data were organized and cataloged at scale.

BlueGranite SolutionPower BI for BioinformaticsCreate interactive dashboards and reports of your genomics data with Power BI. By using our expertise coupled with some Power Query magic, we can read and visualize all sorts of files that are common in bioinformatics. This enables users to take advantage of information in files such as .FASTQ, .BAM, .VCF, and .GFF. Also, you can now import data from virtually any site such as the Protein Data Bank, NCBI, PlasmoDB, and more.
