Case Study: a leading DNA sequencing company reduces analysis costs and accelerates workflows with Persistent Systems

DNA sequencing company optimizes its sequencing workflow with Persistent’s agile solution

a leading DNA sequencing company wanted a faster, more scalable and secure way to run and analyze large volumes of genetic testing data. Its researchers were dealing with terabytes of output per genome, long analysis times, rising infrastructure costs, and a need to collaborate and re-run experiments in a compliant environment with real-time visibility. Persistent Systems was brought in to help, leveraging cloud infrastructure on AWS and Google Cloud Platform.

Persistent Systems delivered a cloud-based genetic data analysis and discovery platform on AWS with a dynamic interface, workflow tracking, smart filters, and secure self-service re-analysis. The solution enabled hundreds of experiments to run concurrently, supported about 30+ TB of data generated daily, improved visibility across the experiment lifecycle, and cut analysis cost per experiment by around 60%, while also reducing turnaround time and improving scalability, reliability, and compliance.
