NGScloud2, a major version of NGScloud, is a bioinformatic system developed to analyze data of NGS experiments using the cloud computing services of Amazon - Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)- that permit the access to ad hoc computing infrastructure scaled according to the complexity of each experiment, so its costs and times can be optimized. The application provides a user-friendly front-end to easily operate Amazon's hardware resources and to control workflows of bioinformatic analysis of de novo RNA-seq, reference-based RNA-seq and functional annotation specifically oriented to plant species. This last workflow encapsulates our standalone application TOA (https://github.com/GGFHF/TOA/) so it can run in EC2. NScloud2 also has technical improvements as the usage of spot instance (they can lead to significant cost savings) or the last instances types (M5, C5 and R5).

The usage of the services of Amazon Web Services, such as the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and the Elastic Block Store (EBS) that uses NGScloud2, entails expenses. You can inform yourself on the Amazon website: htpps://aws.amazon.com. The NGScloud2 development team does not assume any responsibility or liability for the expenses derived from the utilization of the services provided by Amazon Web Services by the NGScloud2 users.
