ANALYSIS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO GENOMIC SEQUENCE ON AMAZON CLOUD

Bioinformatics is an important field that mainly helps to interpret biological data using computing tools with the help of other fields such as statistics, mathematics, and chemistry. Due to the generation of enormous amount of biological data, bioinformaticians require high power computing resources. Cloud computing provides on-demand computing facilities that can expand and/or shrink as required. Cloud computing is attracting bioinformaticians to analyze vast amount of biological data currently available and it is expected that it will be the popular choice of bioinformaticians in near future. This paper presents the application of cloud computing in bioinformatics with special reference to genomic sequence.
