This story has been updated from a previous version with additional comments addressing critiques of the technology. The name of the conference has been corrected as well.

CHICAGO – Computational biologists and data scientists at the University of Washington-Tacoma have developed a methodology using "serverless" cloud computing that accelerates alignment of human RNA sequencing data by more than a thousandfold. This technology, they said, slashes the alignment time for a 640-million-read dataset from 19 hours to just one minute.
