about BGI 2010
Wong says the Illumina machines are currently producing 200 gigabases per run, and expects a higher throughput by the end of 2010. At 40 gigabases per day per machine, he expects to be generating 3-4 terabases daily by year’s end. The BGI Hong Kong supercomputer currently has 2,400 cores, but Wong and a colleague seem uncertain about the storage capacity. After some back and forth in Cantonese, they settle on a current total of almost three petabytes (PB) of on site storage in Hong Kong (Shenzhen has a little over 7 PB). The calculation capacity is about 25 teraflops. With the scope of work BGI is hoping for, that may not suffice for long. BGI doesn’t plan to do a lot of long term storage for its clients. Some biotechs will want all of their data back, and will ask that BGI not keep any records. Others will prefer that BGI retain the data for a few years, depending on the client’s intellectual property policies. BGI will have its own policy, but will work with clients to meet their needs. Although DNA extraction from blood and tissue samples is currently handled in Shenzhen, by the end of 2010 all international projects will be done in Hong Kong (though some processing may continue in Shenzhen). Wong expects around ten instruments to be housed abroad (BGI Europe in Copenhagen and a yet-to-be-announced office in South Asia or Australia) for small projects. Today there are 77 employees in Hong Kong, growing to 100 by the end of the year and eventually 200 laboratory and 50 administrative staff. When renovations are completed, BGI Hong Kong will occupy more than 10,000 square meters, more than half of which will be lab space with 500 square meters of IT space.

 * Bionimbus はオープンソースクラウドシステムでゲノムデータの管理解析共有を機能としています. シカゴ大学のゲノムとシステムバイオロジー研究所によって開発されました. 　Bionimbus is an open source cloud-based system for managing, analyzing and sharing genomic data that has been developed by the Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology (IGSB) at the University of Chicago. Bionimbus is designed to support next-generation sequencing instruments and integrates technology for the analyzing and transporting large datasets. There is an open source version of Bionimbus available to those who wish to set up their own clouds. There is also a Bionimbus Community Cloud operated by the 501(c)(3) Open Cloud Consortium’s Open Science Data Cloud that includes a variety of public genomics and related data.


 * IGSBは　Knapp Center for Biomedical Discoveryが司令塔になりシカゴ大とアルゴンヌ国立研究所の施設にまたがるゲノム科学のエンジンです. 　Headquartered in the Knapp Center for Biomedical Discovery, and with facilities that reach across The University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory, IGSB is an engine for discovery that utilizes the latest approaches in genome analysis, high throughput screening, and biological computation. Founded in 2006, IGSB has grown to seven core faculty with over 50 students and staff, as well as over sixty participating faculty Fellows who are making basic discoveries in the biological sciences.
