Geneopedia

This took much longer than expected (aprox 3 years) but our entire pipeline is functional and we have integrated deep learning (tensorflow) into the identification of indels and SNPs giving the accuracy we are finally comfortable going to market with. Our plan is to do a kickstarter next and publish all the exomes we presently have freely to the public along with the corresponding ontological data.

64 Cores and Lots of memory running full tilt on processing 1000 genomes project. Hopefully by the end of next month we should be complete processing the data.

One of the challenges of doing genomic research is the sheer size of data we are dealing with. As you may know Geneopedia is basically run on a shoe string, we have no outside backing what so ever so things have to be done in a "non standard" fashion. This week we are shucking hard drives. What is hard drive shucking? It is when a hard drive manufacturer puts a $500 enterprise drive in a $250 external usb consumer drive because people don't like paying a lot of money for external drives. Companies like ours exploit this by literally buying the externals and tearing apart the guts until we get to the gold! Now for the mere price of $1500 and our hyper compression algorithm we will soon host and share 1,000 genomes data and allow people to data process it on our platform. Not to shabby for no government research handouts.

The culmination of 18 months worth of effort to develop the next generation tools geneticists and doctors will need to identify and treat individuals with genetic disorders. We showed a few people in the genomics industry these tools and they were pretty excited as are we. https://vimeo.com/155340150
