NIG Supercomputer System

NIG Supercomputer System

National Institute of Genetics (NIG) operates a supercomputer system to develop the International Nucleotide Sequence Database (INSD) and to provide computational resources to domestic researchers.

The key features of the NIG Supercomputer System are the analysis environment specialized to life science research and the comprehensiveness of public data.In 2018 we install a large-scale storage system and in 2019 we replaced the old computer system to analyze massive-scale data such as full human genomes that our JGA repository provides (See table below).

Domestic researchers can request for a user account throughout the year, and the cost is free for users of less than 30 TB disk usage.Large-scale users exceeding this threshold must pay a prorated volume fee, and other options to rent computation nodes are available for a fee.

Every year, average 1700 users from 150 institutions register to our computing environment.For details, please visit our website (https://sc.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/).

The Personal Genome Analysis Section has obtained ISO27001 (Information Security Management System: ISMS) certification in 2023.
