  • AWS for bioinformatics core

    Hello,
    Our department had started bioinformatics core recently and I am the only 1 bioinformatician there, we are looking for different options to run the analysis. We are planning to take AWS account, I have couple of questions of questions in my mind
    1. Will there be any firewall problems when accessing the AWS from university.
    2. If so, is it easier issue to resolve
    3. How much space we need to run 200 RNA-Seq samples from AWS

    Anyone has experience about this, I would really appreciate any feedback on this. Thank you.

    1. Will there be any firewall problems when accessing the AWS from university.
    There is no firewall by default on AWS. You can directly ssh from your computer to an EC2 instance. If you want better security, you can create something called a VPC with limited IP ranges.

    3. How much space we need to run 200 RNA-Seq samples from AWS
    If money is not an issue, EFS would be the most natural solution, as it grows and shrinks depending on the amount of data u put in, which means you don't have to think about the problem of scalability. I usually keep everything in the sorted bam format to keep the data small without losing anything. Most sorted RNAseq bams I have seen are less than 10GB in size, of course, it depends on a lot on the sequencing depth.

    I just wrote a blog post about this kinda issue actually, hope it might be helpful :
    The recurrent question in the data-intensive workplace often revolves around which computing infrastructure to use. In the past four years as a bioinformatics Ph.D. student, I have both received an…

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
