Transatlantic partners are applying machine-learning algorithms to a financial HPC platform to develop predictive models for studying crop growth patterns and agriculture practices. The partners said the models would inc Read more…
Rice Genome Data Mined to Feed a Hungry Planet
The global population is forecast to top 7.7 billion human beings by 2020. As weather patterns change and, with them, global agricultural production, a new dataset containing the genome sequences of more than 3,000 rice Read more…
Five Ways Big Genomic Data Is Making Us Healthier
We've come a long ways since the human genome was first decoded 13 years ago. Thanks to continued advances in high performance computing and distributed data analytics, doctors and computer scientists are finding innovat Read more…
A Shoebox-Size Data Warehouse Powered by GPUs
When it comes to big data, the size of your computer definitely matters. Running SQL queries on 100 TB of data or joining billions of records, after all, requires horsepower. But organizations with big data aspirations a Read more…
Saving Children’s Lives with Big Genomics Data
It's estimated than one in 30 children is afflicted by one of 8,000 or so genetic diseases that we have discovered. Thanks to progress in the world of genomic testing—including faster genomic sequencers and better algo Read more…
Peek Inside a Hybrid Cloud for Big Genomics Data
Genomics, or the study of human genes, holds an enormous promise to improve the health of people. However, at 80GB to 250GB per sequenced genome, the sheer size of genomics data poses a considerable storage and processin Read more…
A New Sequence for Stanford
Stanford University, already a renowned genomics research institution, won approval for and is planning the building of an interdisciplinary genomics center. The center would rival that of MIT’s as well as Harvard’s Broad Institute for government funding and the top genomics personnel in the country. Read more…
Brown University Advances Genomics, Big Data Research
A $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health allow a computer science team from Brown University to better an algorithm used to detect mutated genes. It is thought that this algorithm could potentially be used to sift out irrelevant information in non-genomics big datasets. Read more…
DNA to Carry New Data Burden
Harvard scientists from the Wyss Institute have taken a significant step forward, encrypting 700 terabytes of data such that a single gram of DNA would carry almost a zettabyte of information, defeating the previous DNA information density record by a factor of a thousand. Read more…
Researchers Germinate Novel Approach to Big Bio Data
This week we talked with Michigan State University microbial researcher Dr. C. Titus Brown, assistant professor of Computer Science and Engineering and Microbiology and Molecular Genetics and head of MSU’s lab for Genomics, Evolution, and Development about how his team came up with a novel approach to addressing massive volumes of data for systems that....
