Genomics researchers use instrumentation, hardware and software to analyze, integrate and transmit the vast amount of data they generate on a daily basis--resulting in significant challenges for associated IT markets and technologies. Based on a 29-question survey of more than 600 life scientists in North America, Information Technology in the Life Sciences: An Examination of Genomics Researchers will help instrumentation suppliers and IT vendors understand how academic and industrial scientists use IT tools from start to finish in their genomics experiments. It explores both researchers' use of, and satisfaction with, various types of software and hardware. Additionally, the report will assist companies in identifying future opportunities as well as provide them with information that can be used to expand their internal capacity by forming strategic alliances and partnerships.
The major objectives of this report are as follows:
Measure the current usage patterns for the IT systems used in genomics research.
Ascertain differences between researchers in the academic and industrial market segments in their usage of genomics hardware and software.
Evaluate levels of satisfaction with components of IT systems for genomics research.
Determine future opportunities regarding high performance computing, collaborative tools and storage area networks.
