million DNA-genomen on NGC platform
gigabytes of daily genomen data request
Scalable architecture to handle heavy data-loads
Challenge
The purpose of distributing genome data, comes from the national strategy around “Personal Medicine” with the goal of being able to customize treatment of patients, based on information regarding specific genetics. To support and deliver on this strategy heavy amounts of complex genome data needs to be processed quickly without compromising the quality.
Solution
Codellent helped design and implement a system architecture for the sequenced genome data, to support the bioinformaticians in handling and controlling the received genome samples before they are sent back to the clinics and stored in a genome database.
This included:
Architecture design and implementation including back-end development of the Sequence Quality System (SQS), data governance, CI/CD pipelines and security gateway
Development of advanced data model to handle storing, archiving and requests of genome data
Notification functionality to share status of DNA-analysis in NGC and with the Danish Regions.
The Result
The engagement delivered a secure, scalable architecture and operational backbone that standardizes intake, quality control, and hand‑off of genome samples between national labs, HPC, and clinics. The platform aligns with Denmark’s personalized medicine strategy and leverages NGC’s supercomputer, which is designed for secure handling of extremely large, diverse health datasets and clinician access through a protected infrastructure.
At program scale, this architecture supports nationwide adoption and research acceleration, enabling higher‑quality diagnostics and data re‑use across the healthcare ecosystem. We are proud to say our Codellent contribution to the project had helped facilitate this.
