I am a student and i am searching for some available mobile applications for analysis part of Next Generation Sequencing. In search for the same i came across DNA Align and DNAApp. Also an iOS app MyGenome, but it is also an educational app and not used for analysis in Nxt Generation Sequencing.
I need a review about any android or iOS app for data analysis in Next Generation Sequencing, if any.
Dear Vandana,
Look here:

Hi Vandana,
Are you sure you want to approach the problem this way? I regularly use tools like IGV to browse through RNA seq or exome seq data. Even if you already have the alignments done (so you have .bam files) the genome annotation and the bam files are usually several GB of data. I think this exceeds the memory limits of most mobile systems. A workstation with a quick harddisk and a lot of memory is what I commonly use. Nevertheless, you could try to have all the processing done on a server and just have graphs and text returned, but I'm not sure how responsive that would be.
Good luck!
Dear Vandana,
As stated by Martijn, I'm also not sure what you mean by this. Usually, NGS analysis needs to be done on servers or computers with good processors. If you want to do all the steps to obtain the results of NGS, then probably I think it's not possible to work on a smartphone. The obtained sequences are in millions and with huge files that cannot be handled by smartphones. I have worked with such data, and we have a dedicated PC for such analysis with high configurations.
DNAalign app provides you a user-friendly tool (like BioEdit) on your android. But as per my information, it cannot handle multiple sequences. It's a tool to read the chromatogram of a sequence. I think you need to look into this once again before you start with NGS analysis on you mobile.

I think now-a-days Impala as well as Hadoop Distributive file system -BAM can help with the Next Generation Sequencing.or usually on the platform of MapR
