Abstract

This chapter discusses the latest development of using cloud-computing technology for genome sequencing in bioinformatics field. It introduces the definition of genome sequencing and cloud computing, discussed the current status of NGS in cloud with the example of Nimbix. It also provides a rich source of cloud computing related service providers and technologies for references. Finally, it discusses the challenges of conducting NGS in a cloud environment.
