The scale of biological data is exponentially increasing with sequencing technologies now producing data at a rate exceeding growth in computing power predicted by Moore’s Law (10,000-fold improvement in sequencing vs. 16-fold improvement in computing From the Big Data article Unraveling the Complexities, Higdon et al
What Do Life Science Researchers Want? • Reliable Data • Statistically Valid Results • Analysis Tools with User-Friendly I/F • Transparent Reporting of Results • Ability to Share Data From U of Washington study to assess data & analysis needs for Life Scientists
Relative Importance for the Life Sciences • Volume • Veracity • Velocity • Variety • Value
Conclusions • Recognize that BIG DATA storage issues differ based on the purpose and use of data • Maximize the value of biological research, by improving the capability to store, catalog, share and compare research through: • Low cost and shared storage mechanisms • Universal and easy-to-use tools that provide researchers with the capability to compare their findings with libraries of information
