Questions:

I have been running sets of data for cufflinks/cuffdiff analysis on Galaxy online--I am considering using the cloud but from what I can read, because of different person's galaxy needs, I can't get an clear idea of what I would need and how long it would take to process (and the cost) if I am running weekly

4 x 16gb fastq files to 6-8 x 16gb files--one set per week

Is anyone out there using the cloud exclusively for this type of analysis? And can you give me an idea of what type of cloud setup I could use? I have no idea of how much time it would take to process these on the cloud so its hard to estimate setup costs and specific requirements.
