Visit the Microsoft Genomics team at the American Society of Human Genetics Conference 2018 (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> at Booth #1535<\/strong> to learn how to start building BWA+GATK pipeline into your genomics projects with the Microsoft Genomics service!<\/p>\n

Instead of managing your own datacenters, take advantage of Microsoft’s scale and experience in running exabyte-scale workloads. Because Microsoft Genomics (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> is on Azure, you have the performance and scalability of a world-class supercomputing center, on demand in the cloud. Take advantage of a backend network with MPI latency under three microseconds and non-blocking 32 gigabits per second (Gbps) throughput. This backend network includes remote direct memory access (RDMA) technology that enables parallel applications to scale to thousands of cores. Azure provides you with high memory and HPC-class CPUs to help you get results fast. Scale up and down based upon what you need and pay only for what you use to reduce costs.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Genomics (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> offers a cloud implementation of the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) and the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK) for secondary analysis. The service is ISO-certified and compliant with HIPAA regulations, and offers price predictability for your genome sequencing needs. Learn how to use the Microsoft Genomics service and integrate with our API by reading our quickstarts, tutorials, and documentation.Opens in a new tab<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft Genomics service \u201cGATK 4.0\u201d Public Preview<\/strong>

Today\u2019s healthcare organizations, academic institutions, and clinical labs are looking for simpler workflows and resources to handle the increased demand for next-generation sequencing (NGS). These organizations benefit from Microsoft\u2019s trusted industry-leading approaches to security, privacy, compliance, and data durability in the cloud.\u00a0 When you combine this with our cost competitive pricing model it makes it very simple to understand and forecast your workload costs.<\/p>\n

With a cloud-based toolset that can seamlessly integrate with existing pipelines, Microsoft gives you the ability to analyze genomic data in Azure faster, allowing researchers and medical professionals to get results in hours, versus days. This sample-to-answer process has had a refresh with the latest genomics service update to the Broad Institute\u2019s BWA-GATK 4 pipeline.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To learn how you can accelerate your genomics research with\u00a0Azure (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/u>, the Microsoft cloud, we invite you to\u00a0register\u00a0for the Microsoft Genomics service public preview.<\/p>\n

During public preview you can analyze up to 20 WGS samples at no cost.<\/strong>\u00a0 This preview will be open through June 30, 2019.\u00a0 Please use this opportunity to test your current pipeline against the Microsoft Genomics service and run a small sample set to test for performance and concordance.\u00a0 Feedback to your experience is welcome and appreciated.Opens in a new tab<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
