A spinout from Stanford University and only marginally SBIR involved, DNAnexus presents a new paradigm in DNA sequence storage and analysis, marrying cloud computing infrastructure with scalable systems design and advanced bioinformatics. Design guided by the idea that âMegabaseâ has been replaced by âGigabaseâ as the unit of sequence data, and that Terabase sequencing runs and large-scale whole-genome sequencing will soon be the norm. Building infrastructure from the ground up to run on Amazon Web Services, the worldâs leading cloud computing provider. Solution delivers software plus computing and storage infrastructure. 100,000s of CPUs and 100s of petabytes of storage are available through DNAnexus, which acquires those resources on-demand. DNAnexus provides solutions for both DNA sequencing centers growing their next-gen capacity, and the researchers working with next-gen sequence data. The firm's web-based platform solves the data management and analysis challenges common to both with a single, unified system. Support sequencing operations and research organizations of virtually any size, with absolutely no upfront hardware investment
