The future of healthcare is advancing rapidly across different medical fields. In just one year, and right before our eyes, we’ve witnessed first-hand the development of the COVID-19 vaccine from when the virus was first identified. An enormous achievement in an otherwise lengthy task that previously took, on average, 10-15 years. This was all thanks to the advancement of genomic sequencing, where researchers understand the entire genetic makeup of an organism. However, it didn’t come without its own challenges. One of which includes the massive data volume generated from the research. A single human genome sequence alone takes up 200…
