Sure, all the time. Network and I/O are the biggest blockers for sequence analysis. For any organization that is working with thousands of genomes they probably have their own compute resources. I know of at least one organization who is currently sending thousands of genomes to the cloud for analysis, so it's certainly feasible to some extent.

Any chance we could follow up on this? I'm conducting research in this space and would love to have a chat regarding barriers to such large-scale analysis.

If you could message me at hngenometemp@forward.cat that would be terrific!
