Abstract

“This is a talk about a startup journey leading to PetaGene. Genomic data is rapidly growing – in 2018 alone, there will be more data generated from next generation sequencers (NGS) than all the videos on YouTube put together. PetaGene addresses these challenges by making genomics data smaller, faster and better.”
