ABCGrid: Application for Bioinformatics Computing Grid

ABCGrid: Application for Bioinformatics Computing Grid

UNLABELLED We have developed a package named Application for Bioinformatics Computing Grid (ABCGrid). ABCGrid was designed for biology laboratories to use heterogeneous computing resources and access bioinformatics applications from one master node. ABCGrid is very easy to install and maintain at the premise of robustness and high performance. We implement a mechanism to install and update all ...

Grid and High-Performance Computing for Applied Bioinformatics

The beginning of the twenty-first century has been characterized by an explosion of biological information. The avalanche of data grows daily and arises as a consequence of advances in the fields of molecular biology and genomics and proteomics. The challenge for nowadays biologist lies in the de-codification of this huge and complex data, in order to achieve a better understanding of how our g...

TN-Grid and gene@home project: Volunteer Computing for Bioinformatics

The ability to reconstruct and find genes that belong or are connected to a gene regulatory network is of essential importance in biology, in order to understand how the biological processes of an organism work. The main limitation in performing gene network expansion is related to the huge amount of computations needed to discover new candidate genes. Given these premises we decided to adopt t...

A Practical Application for Grid Computing

A Study on Applications of Grid Computing in Bioinformatics

Huge volume of biological data, which is heterogeneous, autonomous and dynamic in nature, is being produced at a rapid pace throughout the community. Along with the increase in biological data, many tools are being designed to analyze them by different research groups. Integration of these biological data and tools is becoming one of the major topics in the bioinformatics community. Grid comput...
