Developing chilling tolerant accessions of domesticated Asian rice is a potential source of significant crop improvement to address the needs of a growing global population. The uniquely chilling sensitive nature of the tropically originating Oryza sativa make it the most important staple crop that could gain the maximum benefit from improved tolerance to low temperature stress. However, mechanisms underlying this complex trait are not fully understood. Oryza sativa has two major varietal groups with different levels of chilling tolerance, JAPONICA and INDICA, providing an ideal tool to investigate mechanistic differences in the chilling stress tolerance responses within this important crop …
Comparison Of Cpu And Parabricks Gpu Enabled Bioinformatics Software For High Throughput Clinical Genomic Applications, Stefano Rosati
Comparison Of Cpu And Parabricks Gpu Enabled Bioinformatics Software For High Throughput Clinical Genomic Applications, Stefano Rosati
Master's Theses (2009 -)
In recent years, high performance computing (HPC) has begun to revolutionize the architecture of software and servers to meet the ever-increasing demand for speed & efficiency. One of the ways this change is manifesting is the adoption of graphics processor units (GPUs). Used correctly, GPUS can increase throughput and decrease compute time for certain computational problems. Bioinformatics, an HPC dependent discipline, is no exception. As bioinformatics continues advance clinical care by sequencing patient’s DNA and RNA for diagnosis of diseases, there is an ever-increasing demand for faster data processing to improve clinical sequencing turnaround time. Parabricks, a GPU enabled bioinformatics …
