Enabling large genomic data transfers using nation-wide and international dynamic lightpaths

The recent advances made in high throughput genomic sequencing allow researchers to accurately determine the genetic make-up of an individual. Sharing this data across research institutes has proven to be challenging as the amount of data and available bandwidth cause large delays. Here, we present...

Description
Summary:The recent advances made in high throughput genomic sequencing allow researchers to accurately determine the genetic make-up of an individual. Sharing this data across research institutes has proven to be challenging as the amount of data and available bandwidth cause large delays. Here, we present a network of dynamic lightpaths dedicated to the life sciences which connects research groups within the Netherlands to each other, to compute and storage providers and to commercial partners.
