The Final Year Project, Visualization and Sharing of Genomics Data via a Cloud Based System, documented on the relationships between Cloud Computing, Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS), Galaxy, Integrated Genome Browser (IGB) and UCSC Genome Browser. Due to the vast amount of Genomics data involved in the renowned technology Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS), Galaxy (An open source, web-based platform for data intensive biomedical research) adopted Cloud Computing as a potential methodology to remedy the storage, processing and sharing of data. A detailed guide from depositing data, installing of Galaxy to the hosting of Galaxy were included in this report with proper configurations and recommendations attached. It is important to note that Galaxy no longer supported the distribution of Windows platform and thus, Ubuntu (A community developed, GNU/Linux based Free/Open Source operating system) was adopted as a substitution for development in a Linux platform.
