The University of Missouri (UM) is partnering with IBM to develop a regional-level genomics cloud computing environment that the organizations claim will allow genomics informatics to be shared across a broad range of fields by researchers, academic organizations, and clinical sites throughout the Midwest.
The UM-IBM project will exploit the latter’s computing technologies in an initiative that, as the first of its kind, will have far-reaching benefits for genomics researchers and clinicians at the sharp end of patient welfare, the organizations suggest.
