The University of Missouri life sciences division received a technology grant from IBM that is described as “high performance computing technologies” by IBM.
IBM will indirectly influence it’s “first-of-a-kind” cloud technology environment for the genomics research collaborative. In simpler terms the scientists can participate, located in different geographical areas, within a network and share data amongst each other.
The genomics cloud will advance the way patients are diagnosed. The cloud will introduce the human genome sequence and analysis within a “clinical setting” for the first time. The cloud technology will provide more of a team environment that should minimize delays as though each team member were in the clinic together.
