Tencent cloud fully enabled to improve the field of genetic problems
As a new type of genetic testing technology, gene sequencing plays a very important role in life science research. The rapid development of the industry has led to the explosive growth of biogenic genetic data, which makes genetic companies and scientists face new challenges. Recently, Tencent Cloud said it will fully liberalize various IT capabilities and help the overall rapid development of bio-gene areas in terms of transmission, storage, computing, management and insight.
First of all, in the face of the transmission problem of gene data volume, Tencent Cloud built the most complete 28-line BGP network environment in China, enabling gene clients to upload and download data quickly and stably. At the same time, it helps gene enterprise customers to do data upload to the cloud through a key Distribution capabilities enable gene companies to pass data to scientific research users.Secondly, Tencent Cloud to meet the different needs of the field of data applications and genetics by providing storage services such as file storage, object storage and archive storage, and for the most core Computing, Tencent Cloud offers super-cloud services that enable researchers and gene makers to select a wide range of high-performance virtual machines and physical machines to speed up gene computations.
In addition, Tencent Cloud has developed an integrated data management platform "Tencent cloud double helix PAAS platform" for the genetic industry to meet the needs of gene users, storage, calculation and management etc. It is understood that Tencent cloud double helix platform has The first is a rapid analysis, through the use of double helix FPGA to speed up the process of genetic analysis, the second generation of sequencing, has been able to save 90% of the time, the follow-up will continue to launch three generations of accelerated service.Second is to save costs, relying on Double-helix precision scheduling capabilities, double-helix in the calculation process on-demand dispatch the most suitable computing power to perform tasks to avoid CPU or memory a large number of empty run situation.The third is the artificial intelligence technology, has been in the field of precision medicine For example, in Guangdong, AI Tencent Miying to help doctors do early screening of esophageal cancer, an endoscopy, AI Ying can make a diagnosis within 4 seconds, the accuracy rate of 90%.

NGS acceleration program to enhance human genome-wide analysis efficiency and accuracy
Tencent Cloud Gene Team recently launched NGS acceleration program based on self-developed FPGA aurora heterogeneous systems to optimize human genome-wide analysis from 30 hours to 2.8 hours.In the experiment, the researchers used a 30 times the depth of sequencing of human Genome-wide FASTQ file (NA12878), respectively, in the industry common high-performance servers and equipped with australia FPGA aurora heterogeneous server on a comparative test, experimental data show that Tencent NGS acceleration program accelerated more than 10 times.
Comparison between traditional computing system and Tencent aurora heterogeneous system
It is understood that the traditional computing system through the use of multiple high-end CPU to build HPC system to achieve the purpose of shortening the time, but also makes the cost increase, limited the scale of genetic companies and Tencent aurora heterogeneous systems provide excellent performance at the same time Can further reduce the cost of genetic customers.Using Aurora Technology, the self-developed core technology, it optimizes the traditional analysis and calculation process as a whole through the following three aspects.
First, equipped with BWA_MEM and VariantCalling dedicated hardware core algorithm.Adopting the industry's most advanced large-scale integrated circuit design technology, the algorithm performance to a higher level.
Second, the way to optimize memory access at the algorithmic level.
Third, IO bottlenecks can not improve system performance has been a major source of genetic second-generation analysis process, through the system and algorithm level optimization and heterogeneous acceleration significantly reduce IO bandwidth requirements.
While greatly improving the efficiency of the analysis, Aurora technology also ensures excellent accuracy of analysis, and the accuracy of traditional software analysis is basically the same researchers will calculate the results of general-purpose server and aurora heterogeneous system analysis results uploaded to PrecisionFD website Compare the results shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 below:

Meet the needs of different scenarios to help gene clients business success
Tencent cloud relying on cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other fields of rich experience and accumulation of different types of genes to meet the different needs of users of the scene and the model of the ability to make its bio-genetic solutions have become a number of life science users Which will include Novo Zhiyuan, Carbon Cloud Intelligence, Gezhi Gene and so on. Tencent Cloud is promoting the development of life science industry with intelligent solutions.
Committed to the field of life sciences research and human health Nuo Zhi Zhiyuan, the use of Tencent supercomputer to accurately match the resources needed to meet its basic scientific research, genetic data processing and clinical application of different scenarios and modes of data processing, storage And transmission of the stringent requirements to help scientific research and medical staff to focus more on scientific and clinical issues.
As an innovative company in the life sciences, Carbon Cloud Intelligence relies on the advantages of Tencent Cloud in terms of the Internet and artificial intelligence, as well as flexible, efficient and low-latency online computing and big data processing capabilities. It has established a system that includes a biological sample management system, Analysis and computing systems, user data management systems, etc. Using artificial intelligence technology to analyze and process data to find the future of silicon-based carbon-based life, to help everyone manage digital life health.
According to different magnitudes of business partners in the field of gene science and technology, Tencent Cloud continues to introduce cost-effective products to meet the demand.Gold Gene partner Huang Ke said that the Blackstone entity provided by Tencent Cloud meets the requirements of low cost High-performance computing needs, providing high-quality services in new life science fields provide start-ups with a great solution.
Tencent cloud has been committed to providing customers with industry-leading solutions to help customers solve the bottleneck.In the field of genetic science and technology, Tencent Cloud said it will launch more services in the future to further reduce the cost of gene clients and enhance overall performance. It is understood that Tencent Cloud Aurora FPGA acceleration will be through the double helix products open, has been open to test the test experience, you can scan the QR code below to make an appointment, an antecedent experience and enjoy more benefits.
