Question 1

How is a managed bioinformatics pipeline platform different from running pipelines in-house?

Accepted Answer

A managed bioinformatics pipeline platform removes the operational burden of infrastructure provisioning, compute scaling, software maintenance, failure recovery, and cost tracking. Pipelines run on auto-scaling cloud infrastructure with automated monitoring, recovery, audit trails, and cost visibility, allowing genomics teams to focus on analysis rather than infrastructure management.

Question 2

Which NGS pipeline types does the platform support?

Accepted Answer

The platform supports whole exome sequencing (WES), whole genome sequencing (WGS), RNA-Seq, somatic variant calling, germline variant calling, targeted gene panels, pharmacogenomics workflows, liquid biopsy analysis, and configurable variant annotation pipelines. Both research and clinical production workloads are supported at scale.
