Abstract:
1. A method for providing a scalable bio-informatics sequence search on cloud, the method comprising: partitioning, by an information management computing device, genome data into a plurality of datasets and storing the plurality of datasets in a database; receiving, by the information management computing device, at least one sequence search request input comprising a species name, a chromosome number, a gene of interest, a special DNA repeat fingerprint, a transcription factor and a disease indication target; identifying, by the information management computing device, datasets based on the received at least one sequence search request input; searching, by the information management computing device, for a genome sequence in the database corresponding to the identified datasets; and scaling up, by the information management computing device, the sequence search to be compatible for execution on a cloud computing platform comprising a plurality of virtual machines based on the received at least one sequence search request input, wherein the scaling up further comprises monitoring at least one service level agreement (SLA) parameter, applying at least one provisioning rule to the monitored at least one SLA parameter, increasing or decreasing a resource allocation upon applying the at least one provisioning rule and updating a Hadoop cluster based on increasing or decreasing the resource allocation.
