We’ve witnessed a digital transformation in health with organizations capturing huge volumes of patient information every day from digitized medical records, genomics, medical imaging, and more. Figuring out how to harness this vast and complex set of multimodal data is key to making meaningful progress in precision medicine and to improving patient care.

Come learn how customers are building genomics solutions on AWS with the new Amazon Omics. This builders’ session is a hands-on tour of how to store petabytes of genomics data at low cost, process them efficiently, and analyze population-scale datasets.

In this builders session, learn how to run large-scale genomic analyses using Amazon S3 buckets to stage datasets in analysis pipelines, create job queues in AWS Batch for scalable parallel job execution, and orchestrate jobs into analysis workflows using native AWS services like AWS Step Functions and third-party workflow engines. Ask questions to genomics specialists working in the...

Learn how to simplify the process of orchestrating complex genomics pipelines using Nextflow—a popular open source data-driven computational pipeline tool that enables scalable and reproducible scientific workflows—and AWS Batch, a fully managed batch processing service that enables scientists and engineers to easily and efficiently run hundreds of thousands of batch computing jobs on AWS.
