The wide range of RNA-seq applications and their high computational needs require the development of pipelines orchestrating the entire workflow and optimizing usage of available computational resources. Researchers at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology have developed aRNApipe, a project-oriented pipeline ...

from HPC Wire by John Russell Univa’s recent launch of the Grid Engine Container Edition is the latest evidence of growing support for Docker containers in high-performance computing (HPC). Last month NERSC introduced Shifter, a tool for bringing Docker containers ...

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has emerged as a widely used tool in molecular biology. While time and cost for the sequencing itself are decreasing, the analysis of the massive amounts of data remains challenging. Since multiple algorithmic approaches for the basic ...

A variety of extremely challenging biological sequence analyses were conducted on the XSEDE large shared memory resource Blacklight, using current bioinformatics tools and encompassing a wide range of scientific applications. These include genomic sequence assembly, very large metagenomic sequence assembly, ...
