Cloudy with a Chance of Peptides: Accessibility, Scalability, and Reproducibility with Cloud-Hosted Environments.

ABSTRACT: Cloud-hosted environments offer known benefits when computational needs outstrip affordable local workstations, enabling high-performance computation without a physical cluster. What has been less apparent, especially to novice users, is the transformative potential for cloud-hosted environments to bridge the digital divide that exists between poorly funded and well-resourced laboratories, and to empower modern research groups with remote personnel and trainees. Using cloud-based proteomic bioinformatic pipelines is not predicated on analyzing thousands of files, but instead can be used to improve accessibility during remote work, extreme weather, or working with under-resourced remote trainees. The general benefits of cloud-hosted environments also allow for scalability and encourage repr
