Costs of Running Production Genomics Workflows On-Premise as well as on Commercial Clouds

While the field of genome analysis is rapidly evolving, a number of tools have matured to become the defacto standard. The Garvan Institute has rapidly grown to become Australia’s leading genome-powered medical research institute, and this has meant that we have moved production genome analysis workflows out of the hands of individual researchers. Instead, these workflows are built by engineers to be run at scale on-premise, on commercial clouds (Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure) and at the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI).
