India, Dec. 6 -- Laboratory technologies are evolving rapidly. The latest instruments for life science research enable scientists to visualize highly detailed 3D models of protein molecules and assemble genomes in a fraction of the time they could in the past. These instruments are helping to accelerate the journey toward personalized medicine and deepen the exploration of new treatments for cancer and infectious diseases.

New lab instruments are also producing tremendous amounts of data. For example, in the field of genomic research, next- generation sequencing (NGS) instruments can output 1 TB of data per hour. Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is another burgeoning field that can produce massive data volumes. With cryo-EM, researcher...
