As a bioinfomatician we need a good software to manage the huge amout of omics data. Here is one open source software for omics data managements.

High-throughput experimental technologies are generating increasingly massive and complex genomic data sets. The sheer enormity and heterogeneity of these data threaten to make the arising problems computationally infeasible. Fortunately, powerful algorithmic techniques lead to software that can answer important biomedical questions in practice.
Check out this review for more detail of computational solution of huge omics data: http://www.nature.com/nrg/journal/v14/n5/full/nrg3433.html#!
Compressive Genomics is the solution deal with problem arisen due to sudden explosion of redundant data generated by current sequencing technology and other solution is 3rd and 4th generation sequencing machines which are based on sequencing single molecule and tend to produce long reads with less redundant data.
