Abstract
The sequencing of the human genome has facilitated a significant increase in our understanding of disease. By using individual genetic information to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease with better precision, genomics-enabled medicine promises health care that is personalized, predictive, proactive, and preventive rather than reactive (Roundtable on Translating Genomic-Bas...). Realizing this goal requires integration and joint analyses of large genomic and clinical datasets which demand computational storage and processing capacities which are not found in a typical healthcare provider organization. To facilitate this type of analyses that are at the care of precision healthcare, Sanford Imagenetics implemented a cloud based platform utilizing commercial Infrastructure as a Service (IasS) with Amazon Web Services and Platform as a Service (PaaS) with Databricks. Databricks Unified Analytics platform (Databricks Delta: Unified Data Manage...) allows Sanford Imagenetics to store and analyze population scale genomic and clinical data in a HIPAA compliant platform that can dynamically scale according to our needs, and with a cost structure proportional to active usage.
