From molecules to the Milky Way: dealing with the data deluge - Most
people have a few gigabytes of files on their PC. In the next decade,
astronomers expect to be processing 10 million gigabytes of data every
hour from the Square Kilometre Array telescope. And with DNA sequencing
getting cheaper, scientists will be data mining possibly hundreds of
thousands of personal human genome databases, each of 50 gigabytes.
