	abstract = {<p class="rtejustify">The advent of Cloud computing is changing the way of conceiving information and communication systems in different application fields including Biotechnology. In this context, an emerging research field is Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) that includes several recent technologies allowing sequencing DNA and that have revolutionized the study of genomics and molecular biology. These cutting-edge sequencing systems produce big datasets that require significant scalable computing resources. In this paper, we analyse and classify the major current NGS Cloud-based solutions adopted in scientific laboratories according to different Cloud service levels. Moreover, by means of a taxonomy, we discuss the challenges and advantages of possible future NGS Cloud-based systems.</p>
