Hi Solomon. Congrats on the round. We're building on top of Docker a reproducable genomics platform at Seven Bridges Genomics. For us, Docker makes science and healthcare reproducible. Let's brainstorm on how we can bring wider visibility to Docker in that vertical :)
I'm working in the genomics space as well. We have an open source interface for filtering and examining variants for clinical diagnostics called Varify. We presented a poster at ASHG and are trying to get the open source code we have out on github documented and installable (https://github.com/cbmi/varify). My experience is that most of the analysis companies have the final variant display, filtration, and reporting as a gap in their capabilities and don't have the time or resources to devote to it 100%. Clinical diagnostics (where we are focused) has very different usage scenarios from discovery work, so it may not be a good fit depending on your focus.
Regardless, I'd love to hear about your experience with Docker and NGS pipeline work. Looked at your profile but there was no email. Shoot me a note if you want to chat (email is in my profile).
