“Experimental data is growing exponentially,” says Rico Magsipoc, chief technology officer at UCLA’s Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (LONI). “With MRIs, as resolution has increased, data sets have grown in size and can be from 78 to 500 GB.” According to Illumina, a fully tasked Genome Analyzer instrument yields more than 100 TB in image and processed data in a year, forcing some groups to discard raw image files to conserve storage.
