The plummeting cost of sequencing a human genome has enabled research programs to sequence hundreds of thousands of people, and enabled clinical programs to sequence patients’ genomes as a standard part of treatment. This dramatic expansion demands significant data storage and computing power.
The Microsoft Azure cloud satisfies this demand with reliable, secure, global data storage and computation services. Microsoft Genomics on Azure provides a pay-as-you-go web service for analyzing genomes that is accurate, compliant, and easy to use, enabling a wide range of applications in cancer, rare diseases, population health, and precision medicine.
