Visit the Microsoft Genomics team at the American Society of Human Genetics Conference 2018 (opens in new tab) at Booth #1535 to learn how to start building BWA+GATK pipeline into your genomics projects with the Microsoft Genomics service!

Instead of managing your own datacenters, take advantage of Microsoft’s scale and experience in running exabyte-scale workloads. Because Microsoft Genomics (opens in new tab) is on Azure, you have the performance and scalability of a world-class supercomputing center, on demand in the cloud. Take advantage of a backend network with MPI latency under three microseconds and non-blocking 32 gigabits per second (Gbps) throughput. This backend network includes remote direct memory access (RDMA) technology that enables parallel applications to scale to thousands of cores. Azure provides you with high memory and HPC-class CPUs to help you get results fast. Scale up and down based upon what you need and pay only for what you use to reduce costs.

Microsoft Genomics (opens in new tab) offers a cloud implementation of the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) and the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK) for secondary analysis. The service is ISO-certified and compliant with HIPAA regulations, and offers price predictability for your genome sequencing needs. Learn how to use the Microsoft Genomics service and integrate with our API by reading our quickstarts, tutorials, and documentation.
