With the advancement in technology and biological research, a vast amount of data is being produced,<br>necessitating large-scale storage and processing capabilities. Sequencing instruments lack sufficient storage<br>capacity. Cloud computing offers an efficient solution to these challenges, with low management costs. Cloud<br>computing involves storing and accessing data “over the Internet,” providing a scalable and flexible system for<br>addressing storage and processing problems. It allows anytime, anywhere access to applications, data sharing,<br>and resources, removing the need for researchers to manage computing clusters. In the field of bioinformatics,<br>cloud computing can provide services such as probe sequencing, quality control, and reporting for next-generation<br>sequencing (NGS) data and other bioinformatics tools. Over the years, cloud computing has become integral<br>to many bioinformatics solutions. Major companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon offer cloud-based<br>platforms, and some cloud-based bioinformatics systems include Apache Hadoop, Dryad, Azure, and BioNimbus.<br>However, concerns have been raised regarding data management, infrastructure, and environmental performance.<br>Overall, cloud computing has the potential to revolutionize bioinformatics, making it more accessible to researchers<br>and professionals. In this research paper, we explore how the introduction of cloud computing has impacted the<br>field of bioinformatics.</p>2024-05-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Khadeeja Hanna, Hemalatha
