Google Genomics Preview by Kevin.
From the post:
Welcome to the Google Genomics Preview! You’ve been approved for early access to the API.
The goal of the Genomics API is to encourage interoperability and build a foundation to store, process, search, analyze and share tens of petabytes of genomic data.
We’ve loaded sample data from public BAM files:
- The complete 1000 Genomes Project
- Selections from the Personal Genome Project
How to get started:
- Follow the instructions in the developer documentation
- Try the sample genome browser which calls the API
- Try out the other open source examples — an R script, Python MapReduce, and a Java file-based implementation
- Write your own code to call the API and explore new uses
You will need to obtain an invitation to being playing.
Don’t be disappointed that Google is moving into genomics.
After all, gathering data and supplying a processing back-end for it is a critical task but not a terribly imaginative one.
The analysis you perform and the uses you enable, that’s the part that takes imagination.
