The world's largest set of data on human genetic variation is publicly available on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. These data was produced by the international 1000 Genomes Project and was announced a few weeks ago by the National Institutes of Health and AWS jointly."The explosion of biomedical data has already significantly advanced our understanding of health and disease. Now we want to find new and better ways to make the most of these data to speed discovery, innovation and improvements in the nation’s health and economy," said NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Collins is among agency leaders speaking in support of the initiative at the launch event.
