Google is working with the genomics community to define a standard API for working with big genomic data sets in the cloud. Building on Google Cloud Platform, we show how to store, process, explore and share genomic data using technologies like BigQuery, AppEngine MapReduce, R and more.]]> https://bioinformaticsonline.com/videolist/watch/18381/how-far-can-bioinformatics-go-creating-organisms-used-for-testing Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:08:16 -0500 https://bioinformaticsonline.com/videolist/watch/18381/how-far-can-bioinformatics-go-creating-organisms-used-for-testing "I think you can get very far on a technical level. The problem is that a human body is more complex than just one cell." ... "At some point we still need clinical tests on animals and humans before we use it for real treatment. But we will likely be able to remove 99 % of animal tests in the future." Erik Lindahl, Professor of Theoretical and Computational Biophysics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is telling us about his work. From the episode "Science for life – mapping the building blocks of the human body".
