Genomics is upon us, made possible by big data and the technologies designed to support it. Doctors, who historically used clinical data, and researchers, who historically used genomic data, are now increasingly focused on analyzing the same single data set: introducing the opportunity to share bodies of knowledge, fostering collaborative innovation, and driving toward higher standards of care. However, this data is enormous – volumes of genomic data are expected to reach two to four exabytes per year by 2025, yet the cost of genetic sequencing has decreased 100-fold over the past 10 years. Cloudera is helping solve the big data problem with its Apache Hadoop-based platform for large-scale data processing, discovery, and analytics; putting precision medicine within reach.
