Bioinformatics
The cooperation between the Genetic Epidemiology, Medical University Innsbruck (Univ.-Prof Florian Kronenberg) and the Research Group Databases and Information Systems (DBIS, Univ.-Prof Günther Specht) already started in 2007. The overall goal of the cooperation is to find new ways of storing and processing big data derived from Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) using RDBMS as well as NoSql Systems. Parallelization strategies like MapReduce, usability of developed systems and reproducability of results are two major aspects within the cooperation.
