BGI EasyGenomics cloud computing

[Jeremy]

Seems like BGI have set up a cloud based NGS analysis website (www.easygenomics.com) somewhat resembling how Galaxy works. For the moment it appears to be free, but I can't find much information on what you can actually do with it or how user friendly it is.

Has anyone tried it yet and what do you think of it?

I gave BGI a try, I guess it is still very early in beta because there wasn't any instructions, although it was pretty intuitive. I ran into a pretty big problem though, I tried a small de novo assembly and about a few hours into running it reported that there was an error, but doesn't give any error report or any information about it. In addition the site doesn't say what program they are using. I wouldn't write them off yet, since it a pretty new site.

I do think it is really good that large cloud computing pipelines like this are getting set up though.

That's an odd site, the email address didn't work for me either.

I have also facing problems with my email.
No ideas yet but I'll let you know if I found anything about it.
