Genomics in Azure

By Colby T. Ford

Streamline genomics research using the built-in services and tools in Microsoft Azure. On this powerful cloud platform, you can scale analysis without spiraling costs, automate time-consuming tasks, and implement security and compliance planning for sensitive data.

Genomics in Azure teaches bioinformaticians how to create cloud-based platforms for biotech, pharmaceutical, and life sciences workloads. Enterprises worldwide use Azure's best-in-class services to store and analyze their data. This book shows you how easy it is to use those tools for genomics research.

You'll learn how to transfer your genomic data to the cloud and organize it for your specific needs. Go hands-on to set up large-scale bioinformatics pipelines in Databricks, and handle sequence alignment and variant calling at-scale using other Azure compute services. By the time you're finished reading, you'll be ready to start working and collaborating on cloud solution designs for all your research needs.
