Scry analytics article on data analytics outsourcing, nov. 18, 2014Shyam Sarkar
This document discusses knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) and data analytics outsourcing from India. It makes the following key points:
1) The KPO industry in India has grown rapidly but data analytics outsourcing specifically is overhyped, growing at a more modest rate of 18% annually through 2020 rather than the hype of reducing US shortages.
2) Most Indian firms focus on lower-level data management and business intelligence rather than predictive analytics, generating insights, or deep domain expertise required for complex analytics projects.
3) Seven myths are discussed around India's ability to meet demand for experienced analytics professionals and reduce shortages in the US. Reality is the Indian industry is still nascent
Vascular plants have tubes that carry water and nutrients throughout the plant, allowing them to grow larger than nonvascular plants. Nonvascular plants absorb water and nutrients through osmosis and diffusion near the ground. Vascular plants include trees while nonvascular plants include mosses. Vascular plants are able to grow in more biomes like tundra and desert because they can transport water over greater distances. Leaves perform photosynthesis and transpiration, stems transport nutrients and support the plant, and flowers aid reproduction through pollination and seed production.

Stock market data is converted to binary sequences representing increases and decreases, which are then encoded into DNA nucleotides. These nucleotide sequences are divided and matched against human genome sequences using BLAST. The analysis found certain sub-sequences of the stock market patterns matched 100% to the human genome, suggesting this approach could potentially predict stock market behavior.
1) Technology advances will soon enable sequencing a person's genome for under $1,000, exponentially increasing the number of sequenced genomes. However, this potential is limited without associating genomic data with clinical data and making it available for research.
2) A single genomic database containing inherited genomes and somatic mutations from cancer patients, along with other associated clinical and molecular data, is needed to avoid a piecemeal approach and maximize use.
3) Building such a "Million Cancer Genome Warehouse" poses technological challenges including dual clinical and research use, unified data storage and analysis, improving genomic analysis methods, streamlining data access, and ensuring privacy while enabling progress. Addressing these challenges could accelerate cancer treatment discovery.
