Well, the raw output of a typical so-called "next gen sequencing" (which are actually very current gen) machine is around 1TB (at least, the ones we used here).
This is raw file though, so once processed (but not yet analyzed) I believe we have sizes around 50 to 100GB (but that's not really what I work on so don't quote me fully on this).
The next steps vary on what you want to do exactly, but it usually involves alignment of base pairs (basically, trying to tie together by their ends sequences of DNA but seeing if they "fit").
