Hadoop comes bundled with launch scripts to simplify initializing an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) cloud for Hadoop. Once initialized, running CloudBurst is identical to running on a local cluster. If you use EC2 regularly with the same datasets (i.e. the human genome as a reference), you will probably want to copy the data once to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) so you can quickly copy the data from S3 to your cloud at low cost.

If required, entire databases can be downloaded from our FTP site in a variety of formats, from flat files to MySQL dumps. Please be aware that these files can run to many gigabytes of data. To facilitate storage and download all databases are GNU Zip (gzip, *.gz) compressed. Please note: Ensembl supports downloading of many correlation tables via the highly customisable BioMart data mining tool. You may find exploring this web-based data mining tool easier than extracting information from our database dumps.
