Abstract

We would like to study the possibility of doing reads mapping using hybrid cloud, in order to utilize public computing resources while preserving the data privacy.

Intellectual Merit

This research if of high demand in the area of bioinformatics as more and data are generated everyday but lack of computing resources to process them.

Broader Impacts

The research may increase data processing speed in the area of bioinformatics and thus replace current read mapping tools
