It has been somewhat difficult to ascertain what problems the fastest supercomputer on the planet has been chewing on since it was announced in 2013, but there are some signs that China is now pinning the machine’s mission on the future of genomics, among other areas. …
The Translational Genomics Research Institute in Arizona is one of a handful of non-profit centers in the U.S. …
When it comes to using the public cloud, few market segments have a better story to tell than the life sciences sector. …
There have been numerous attempts to bring optical processors into the mainstream computing fold, but they remain far behind their silicon cousins for practical reasons including programmability and overall practicality, especially since host processors and full infrastructure are still required to support them. …
DNA sequencing has been driving unprecedented discoveries in the life sciences since the emergence of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies ten years ago. …
From processors, memory, network, and beyond, making architectural choices to support large-scale genomics research is often fed as much by trial and error as it is empirical knowledge about what will work for a demanding application set. …
