DIY Cloud-in-a-Box, Part 1

Here at LabLynx, we have been providing our webLIMS.com product as a SaaS/Cloud based LIMS for the past 2 years. This has been a highly successful product offering for not only new customers but long time existing customers have started switching to our Cloud services over hosting the LIMS in their own internal IT infrastructure. As part of our continued R&D efforts in Cloud Computing, I have decided to use my LIMS Journal Blog to chronicle a new experiment in Cloud Computing. It will be called “DIY (do-it-yourself) Cloud-in-a-Box”. The research in this area has already been going on for the past 6 months and there has been tons of failures and false starts with this experiment and so I want to spare everyone that pain by documenting our successes and failures from this point forward.

Potential Big Advancement In Low Cost Sequencing

I am amazed almost weekly with the pace of advancements in new technology, and particularly in sequencing technology. It wasn't that long ago that the thinking was that to get to the magical $1,000 genome would take perhaps a decade or more. But since then new advancements in platforms such as Ion Torrent's array based sequencer, Illumina's Genome Analyzer, Roche's 454, the ABI family of sequencers ;and the new PacBio sequencer are advancing at such a rate that the cost is already approaching $10,000.
