Towards the integration of energy footprint issues in genomics

Since the publication in 2003 of the first sequencing of the human genome, technological developments in DNA sequencers have shaken up research in biology by giving it the ability to quickly generate large amounts of data. The issues related to the management, transformation and safeguarding of this voluminous, confidential and sensitive data have led to the creation of a complex digital ecosystem. During this presentation, we will focus on the characteristics of the digital ecosystem for genomics: its data, its IT tools, its computing infrastructures, and recent research work focusing on the energy issues concerning it
