AWS HealthOmics is a managed service designed to help healthcare and life sciences organizations manage genomic and transcriptomic datasets cost-effectively. By automating metadata management, compression, and storage class tiering, HealthOmics frees up researchers to focus on analyzing omics data instead of spending time managing it.
Storage efficiency, cost optimization and ease of access to omics data are frequent challenges we hear from customers in the healthcare and life sciences industry. The term “omics” collectively refers to various disciplines in biology such as genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. The study of omics data is rapidly developing and growing through applications in drug discovery, clinical development, early disease detection, precision medicine, and infectious disease testing and tracing. The cost of sequencing a human genome declined from $100M in 2000 to $200 in 2023, enabling researchers to generate more omics data than ever before with the goal of better understanding how the genome functions and affects human health and disease.
