National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) Platform for Genomics and Drug Discovery:
Development of a fast, flexible, high performance computing framework to accelerate NGS
omics-data analysis
Massively Parallel Sequencing or Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has taken the scientific
community by storm. After commercial availability of the technology from last decade
onwards, even modest sized laboratories and institutions all over the world can effectively
produce petabytes of data in weeks. This revolution in data generation technology, warrants an
array of statistical and computational advancement to translate information into knowledge.
The stumbling blocks in translating the large volume of data (information) to biologically
relevant inferences (knowledge) range from (a) information storage, retrieval of the raw data
as-is generated from the sequencing machine - (b) large-scale fast computation and processing
that is essential for the data to be useable by the general scientific community – (c) sophisticated
analysis that is required in transforming the enormous information to knowledge.
The objective of this project was to make available an easy and extremely flexible
supercomputing analysis framework, preferably web-based, to the basic scientist. This would
enable them to exercise their choice of programs sequentially in a seamless fashion to process
the raw sequence data in accordance with their need and choice. It will also provide the research
a wide array of tools for sophisticated data-analysis. The project is in a stage where we now
require a specialist who can work with large scale genetic data and has familiarity with the data
analysis and handling programs.
We are looking for motivated and bright individuals interested to explore short-term career
opportunities in this innovative multi-organization initiative in National Supercomputing
