Genomics in the Azure Cloud 1st Edition

Genomics in the Azure Cloud, 1st Edition by Colby T. Ford delivers a clear, practical roadmap for bringing large-scale genomic analysis to Microsoft Azure. Whether you’re a bioinformatician, IT lead, or clinical researcher, this book opens the door to scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud workflows that accelerate discovery.

Start with succinct explanations of cloud fundamentals and Azure services tailored to genomics. The author walks you through designing reproducible pipelines for next-generation sequencing (NGS), optimizing compute and storage for massive datasets, and integrating containerization and workflow managers. Real-world examples illuminate how to automate variant calling, population-scale analyses, and collaborative projects across research teams in the United States and around the globe.

Emphasis on data protection and compliance makes this guide especially valuable for healthcare and clinical labs. Learn best practices for encryption, access control, and meeting regulatory standards such as HIPAA and GDPR while maintaining high-performance analytics. Practical tips on cost management, monitoring, and choosing the right Azure tools help institutions of any size reduce waste and scale confidently.

For teams aiming to modernize their bioinformatics stack, this book is a hands-on companion that translates cloud theory into actionable steps. Clear diagrams, checklists, and deployment patterns empower technical and nontechnical stakeholders to collaborate effectively.
