Computational biology tool automates and standardizes genome sequencing analysis, Sanford Burnham study finds

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models, or cultured cells. To fully realize the potential to study biology at this scale, researchers must be equipped to analyze the titanic troves of data generated by these new methods.
