Fixing the problems in bioinformatics

[fquote] Since the birth of DNA sequencing in 1977, the technology has seen a drastic decrease in sequencing costs. Nowadays a human genome can be sequenced for as little as $1,000. Unfortunately, computers are not evolving as quickly. Lower cost, and hence greater scale of genomic sequencing, is producing enormous amounts of data, resulting in major central processing unit (CPU) and storage problems. Since manipulating such enormous data sets requires computational resources beyond the power of a standard computer, there are two ways to solve the problem.[/fquote]
