An abundant amount of information is produced in the digital domain, and an effective Information Extraction IE system is required to surf through this sea of information. This paper shows that an interactive visualization system works effectively to complement an IE system. In particular, three-Dimensional (3D) visualization can turn a...
A group associated with UCI's Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences ICS, the UCI Institute for Genomics and Bioinformatics IGB, needed switches for managing large data file transfers and data set crunching. The IGB group is involved in Genome projects which require intensive computing to map genes and perform...
The Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research IPK wanted to integrate the data and applications distributed internationally and locally in heterogeneous systems. The challenge was to develop and integrate analysis applications that work on the basis of the integrated data and create a "Plant Bioinformatics Portal" for...

Glycan biosynthesis is the process by which glycans are built in the cells. The principal purpose of Glyco-Vault is to support the research of glycobiologists in collecting and analyzing data about glycans. In order to support glycan biosynthesis pathway visualization, analysis and modeling, GlycoVault has been collecting data and knowledge...
Google declares war on $2 trillion health care industry and Google battles Microsoft for medical domination.PLUS Google’s Brin: I love you, and your biotech start-up!The $2 trillion worth of health care pieces are all coming together! U.S. healthcare is big business, $2 trillion worth. The advertising of health-related products directly to consumers...
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of...
Can Intel processors enable progress on the most demanding life sciences applications - and do it within the strict floor space and power constraints of a Manhattan data center? One of the largest academic computing centers devoted to molecular and systems biology says yes. Columbia University's Center for Computational Biology...
CLC RNA Workbench is a bioinformatics program for advanced RNA sequence analysis. All analyses are fully integrated in one single, user-friendly, and intuitive software application.Version 4.2 includes advanced view of elements in a folder including batch editing and extract sequences improvements.
CLC Sequence Viewer creates a software environment enabling users to make a large number of bioinformatics analyses, combined with smooth data management, and excellent graphical viewing and output options.
Linux needs a real mainstream distroLinux unfortunately is too fragmented to get the attention of consumers.Way too many distributions. We think Microsoft is bad with Windows! But just look at how many our out there of Linux! Hey Linux idiots! stop doing so many and concentrate on one well...
Nile University is a non-profit privately owned research university in Egypt. The life-science researchers at CIS need to analyse huge amounts of biological data to compare genomic sequences. Using conventional computers this would not be possible, so high-performance computing HPC is vital to their success. Scientists at the Centre of...
Through the algorithmic design patterns of data parallelism and task parallelism, the Graphics Processing Unit GPU offers the potential to vastly accelerate discovery and innovation across a multitude of disciplines. For example, the exponential growth in data volume now presents an obstacle for high-throughput data mining in fields such as...
Amazon on Thursday announced a new cloud computing service that uses Hadoop, a free software framework, to crunch tons of data. The service, called Amazon Elastic MapReduce, is designed for businesses, researchers and analysts trying to conduct data intensive number crunching statement. Hadoop, which is used by...
Swiss-PdbViewer aka DeepView is an application that provides a user friendly interface allowing to analyze several proteins at the same time. The proteins can be superimposed in order to deduce structural alignments and compare their active sites or any other relevant parts. Amino acid mutations, H-bonds, angles and distances between...
The University of Houston's Texas Learning and Computation Center is a promising research center within the university, supporting the computational sciences and engineering, and computer science as cornerstones of the university's most innovative research. There was a shift of emerging disciplines within the life sciences (i.e., bioinformatics), from being largely...
Joint mining of multiple datasets can often discover interesting, novel, and reliable patterns which cannot be obtained solely from any single source. For example, in bioinformatics, jointly mining multiple gene expression datasets obtained by different labs or during various biological processes may overcome the heavy noise in the data. Moreover,...
