Technology must adapt and advance in the management of big data &#8211; otherwise these large data sets would be rendered useless without the capability to efficiently analyze and produce results. Federal agencies have announced $200 million in research and development investments that will allow them to mine, process and store big data. Science The National Cancer Institute is funding a $10.5 million project managed by UC Santa Cruz for a supercomputer that will store the genetic codes of malignancies from 10,000 patients with the intent of revealing mutations that trigger uncontrolled cell growth. The Cancer Genomics Hub (CGHub), said to be the world&#8217;s largest repository for cancer genomes, will sift through the large amount of data attempting to find gene mutations that cause tumors and make it easier to make cross-dataset comparisons &#8211; significantly accelerating the time it takes to analyze and produce results from data sets. To get an idea of why big data is so big &#8211; according to the Oakland Tribune, each tumor\u2019s DNA record is 300 billion bytes...","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.otava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Cancer-Genomics-Hub.png"}
