OBIGrid: Towards a New Distributed Platform for Bioinformatics
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the design philosophy for the Grid system being developed by Japan Committee on HighPerformance Computing for Bioinformatics and Initiative for Parallel Bioinformatics (IPAB). Grid is one of attractive solutions to achieve distributed bioinformtics environment with high performance parallel computers, large genomic databases, computation intensive applications such as homology search and molecular simulation. However, much has been remained in Grid system design especially in the wide area network environment. OBIGrid emphasizes the virtual organization aspect of the Grid system and gives more priority on security and scalability rather than performance.

متن کاملEfficient filtering methods for clustering cDNAs with spliced sequence alignment
MOTIVATION Clustering sequences of a full-length cDNA library into alternative splice form candidates is a very important problem. RESULTS We developed a new efficient algorithm to cluster sequences of a full-length cDNA library into alternative splice form candidates. Current clustering algorithms for cDNAs tend to produce too many clusters containing incorrect splice form candidates. Our al...
