It’s almost 5am on Saturday, and I just finished most of the ‘urgent’ work. Two glasses of wine was a nice help, now I’m ready to go to bed!
Today I would like to introduce Ilumina’s BaseSpace: a NGS cloud computing environment. Anyone can create the account for free, and can easily and securely analyze, archive, and share NGS data, anywhere and anytime.

When I was at Yale, this service was not available and the LIMS was not operating efficiently. We (customer) got often frustrated as we had to wait for weeks to have our data return, sometimes with a sad notice of unexpected failure… I wish I had BaseSpace as a customer then!
We don’t really use their analysis apps yet (but it’s worth checking them: you can try out some of them for limited time for free), but look forward to the evolution of BaseSpace! (looks like TopHat and Cufflinks will be available soon)
