2. Analysing human genomes with Dr. Hasindu Gamaarachchi
Did you know that a human genome contains three billion bases and extracting a single sample will get you one terabyte of data? Join us in conversation with Dr. Hasindu Gamaarachchi, a Genomics Computing Research Scientist from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, to learn how it is possible to analyse this massive amount of data with the help of high-performance computing.
