Re: [DIYbio] Longterm genomic Data storage

Yea, I don't really know much, except that our sequencers put out
something like ~50 gb data files, usually from the exome seq. They're
compressed before sent to clients and I see that they end up around
30gb. I think our local server has 50 or more terabytes of space. At
this point we're low through-put compared to the big guys but still,
there's a lot of data. When I first joined, those numbers were mind
boggling. So, I'm just wondering out of curiosity.
