The massively parallel genetic algorithm for RNA folding: MIMD implementation and population variation
A massively parallel Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been applied to RNA sequence folding on three different computer architectures. The GA, an evolution-like algorithm that is applied to a large population of RNA structures based on a pool of helical stems derived from an RNA sequence, evolves this population in parallel. The algorithm was originally designed and developed for a 16384 processor SIM...
متن کاملExploring RNA Intermediate Conformations with the Massively Parallel Genetic Algorithm
The bioinformatics revolution has led to an exponential increase in the availability of data on gene location, expression, and function for thousands of species. In the midst of this eruption of data, however, time and resources are often lacking for the analysis of information beyond that encoded by sequence alone. While proteins are the traditional candidates for detailed structural analysis,...
متن کاملVisual Data Mining of RNA Secondary Structure and Folding Pathways as Determined by the Massively Parallel Genetic Algorithm
RNA folding pathways are proving to be quite important in the determination of RNA function. Studies indicate that RNA may enter intermediate and multiple conformational states that are key to its functionality. These states may have a significant impact on gene expression and molecular function. It is known that the biologically functional states of RNA molecules may not correspond to their mi...
متن کاملImplementation of Standard Genetic Algorithm on MIMD Machines
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) have been implemented on a number of multiprocessor machines. In many cases the GA has been adapted to the hardware structure of the system. This paper describes the implementation of a standard genetic algorithm on several MIMD multiprocessor systems. It discusses the data dependencies of the different parts of the algorithm and the changes necessary to adapt the seria...
متن کاملDetermination of RNA folding pathway functional intermediates using a massively parallel genetic algorithm (abstract of invited talk)
RNA folding pathways are proving to be quite important in the determination of RNA function. Studies indicate that RNA may enter intermediate conformational states that are key to its functionality. These states may have a significant impact on gene expression. It is known that the biologically functional states of RNA molecules may not correspond to their minimum energy state. Specifically, ki...
