2011-12-07The proposal 'Next generation networking for next generation sequencing' by Jan Bot, e-BioGrid e-core member, wins the Enlighten Your Research contest, organised by SURFnet, SARA, BiG Grid and NWO to 'Take your e-Infrastructure to the next level'. The proposal aims to connect the institutes involved in next-generation sequence data analysis by developing five national and two international dynamic ligthpaths including to Hong Kong where sequencing data are produced. Also extra storage is required to enable the transport of big datasets. According to the jury report: 'Sound approach, impressive network both nationally and internationally', 'Genuinely next generation, with a major impact on both science and industry'. Read more ..
2011-11-10The first e-BioGrid workshop was a success. The kick-off, November 10th, gave a good overview of the e-BioGrid ongoing projects, and reviewed the requirements and framework solutions for e-science infrastructure in life sciences, with fruitful discussions. Read the report here.

Hadoop Hadoop service Big Grid is currently running a prototype Hadoop service for next-generation sequencing. Hadoop is innovative software framework technology that support data-intensive distributed applications. It enables applications to work with thousands of nodes and petabytes of data. It was inspired on Google technology.
