Indexing raw sequencing data to better decipher living organisms

Lettre de l'INSU - Scientific results

 

Major sequencing projects are fundamental to our understanding of living organisms in various fields (health, agronomy, ecology). Technological advances have made it possible to obtain a considerable amount of raw sequencing data (sequence reads). The European Nucleotide Archive currently contains almost 50 Petabytes of public raw data.
