Big Data Why it matters. Patrice KOEHL Department of Computer Science Genome Center UC Davis. The three I’s of Big Data. Big Data is: Ill-defined (what is it?) Immediate (we need to do something about it now) Intimidating (what if we don’t). (loosely adapted from Forbes).

The three I’s of Big Data Big Data is: • Ill-defined (what is it?) • Immediate (we need to do something about it now) • Intimidating (what if we don’t) (loosely adapted from Forbes)

Big Data: Volume, Velocity One minute in the digital world (Intel, 2013) 204 million 640 TB IP data transferred 50 GB e-mails sent of data generated at the Large Hadron Collider 3+ million 30 hours 1.3 million 6 million searches launched users connected videos uploaded videos viewed
Big Data: Volume, Velocity, Variety Numbers text Images sound
Big Data: Challenges • Volume and Velocity • Variety • Structured, Unstructured…. • Images, Sound, Numbers, Tables,… • Security • Reliability, Integrity, Validity
Big Data: Challenges Large N: “Any dataset that is collected by a scientist whose data collection skills are far superior to her analysis skills” Computing issues: • Data transfer • Scalability of algorithms • Memory limitations • Distributed computing
Big Data: Challenges Vizualization issues: The black screen problem (Matloff, 2013)
Big Data: Challenges Rule of thumb: N/P > 5….what if it does not hold anymore? Large P, “small” N: • Curse of dimensionality (all data points seem equidistant) • Non linearity • Dimension reduction
Big Data: Challenges and Opportunities Fourth Paradigm: data driven science Holistic approaches to major research efforts New paradigms in computing Digital Humanities Basic Translational Data Knowledge Societal Benefit
Big Data: Enabling Dreams Understanding the physics of “Dark Energy” How the brain works: from neurons to cognition A holistic view of natural ecosystems Understanding climate changes From genotype to phenotype Precision medicine Big Humanities ….

Genomics: actual costs • Assembling 22GB conifer genome: • Data: • 16 billion pair reads (100 bases) • Processing: • 10 days for error correction • 11 days for assembling “super-reads” • 60 days to build contigs/scaffold • 8 days to fill in gaps “A single lab with one HiSeq is able to generate more sequences than was in GenBank in 2009, every four days.” Gary Schroth (Illumina) http://www.homolog.us/blogs/2013/05/11/ steven-salzberg-at-bog13-assembling-22gb-conifer-genome/
Social Consequences of Commodity Sequencing • The danger of misuse predict sensitivities to various industrial or environmental agents discrimination by employers? • The impact of information that is likely to be incomplete an indication of a 25 percent increase in the risk of cancer? • Reversal of knowledge paradigm • Are the "products" of the Human Genome Project to be patented and commercialized? Myriad genetics and BRCA1/2 • How to educate about genetic research and its implications?
