http://incf.org/about/programs/modeling/blue-gene-access

Through this site, INCF provides he neuroinformatics community with access to an IBM Blue Gene/L supercomputer. INCF owns a share of a BlueGene/L (BG/L) supercomputer located at the Parallel Computer Center (PDC) at The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. Allocations are now available through the INCF Secretariat. During an initial evaluation phase, a limited numbers of large-scale computing projects will be selected, based on the suitability of the project for supercomputing. Research groups with limited access to supercomputers at their home institutions are given priority. Approved projects are regularly re-evaluated. New projects are approved based on availability and usage load of the BG/L. The Blue Gene/L supercomputer project is aimed at expanding the horizon of high-performance computing to unprecedented levels of scale and performance. Blue Gene/L is the first supercomputer in the Blue Gene family. The full Blue Gene/L consists of 64 racks containing 65,536 high-performance compute nodes. Each node (nodes and chips are the same in the Blue Gene system) contains two embedded 32-bit PowerPC processors. Furthermore, the same chip that is used for compute nodes is also used for the 1,024 I/O nodes. A three-dimensional torus network and a collective network are used to interconnect all nodes. The full system contains 33 terabytes of main memory; it is designed to achieve 183.5 teraflops peak performance using one of the processors of each node for computation and the other processor for communication, and 367 teraflops using both processors for computation. Another key architectural feature of this supercomputer is the link chip component and five Blue Gene/L networks, the PowerPC 440 core and floating-point enhancements, the on-chip and off-chip distributed memory system, the node- and system-level design for high reliability, and the comprehensive approach to fault isolation. One of the key objectives in Blue Gene/L design is to achieve cost/performance comparable to the COTS (Commodity Off The Shelf) approach, while at the same time incorporating a processor and network combination so powerful that it revolutionizes the performance of supercomputer systems.

http://medblast.sibsnet.org/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 29, 2016. An algorithm that finds articles most relevant to a genetic sequence. In the genomic era, researchers often want to know more information about a biological sequence by retrieving its related articles. However, there is no available tool yet to achieve conveniently this goal. Here, a new literature-mining tool MedBlast is developed, which uses natural language processing techniques, to retrieve the related articles of a given sequence. An online server of this program is also provided. The genome sequencing projects generate such a large amount of data every day that many molecular biologists often encounter some sequences that they know nothing about. Literature is usually the principal resource of such information. It is relatively easy to mine the articles cited by the sequence annotation; however, it is a difficult task to retrieve those relevant articles without direct citation relationship. The related articles are those described in the given sequence (gene/protein), or its redundant sequences, or the close homologs in various species. They can be divided into two classes: direct references, which include those either cited by the sequence annotation or citing the sequence in its text; indirect references, those which contain gene symbols of the given sequence. A few additional issues make the task even more complicated: (1) symbols may have aliases; and (2) one sequence may have a couple of relatives that we want to take into account too, which include redundant (e.g. protein and gene sequences) and close homologs. Here the issues are addressed by the development of the software MedBlast, which can retrieve the related articles of the given sequence automatically. MedBlast uses BLAST to extend homology relationships, precompiled species-specific thesauruses, a useful semantics technique in natural language processing (NLP), to extend alias relationship, and EUtilities toolset to search and retrieve corresponding articles of each sequence from PubMed. MedBlast take a sequence in FASTA format as input. The program first uses BLAST to search the GenBank nucleic acid and protein non-redundant (nr) databases, to extend to those homologous and corresponding nucleic acid and protein sequences. Users can input the BLAST results directly, but it is recommended to input the result of both protein and nucleic acid nr databases. The hits with low e-values are chosen as the relatives because the low similarity hits often do not contain specific information. Very long sequences, e.g. 100k, which are usually genomic sequences, are discarded too, for they do not contain specific direct references. User can adjust these parameters to meet their own needs.

http://www.dnaform.jp/products/cage_e.html

Expression profiling and promoter identification software tool for transcriptional network analysis and transcriptome characterization. DeepCAGE, the combination of next-generation sequencing with next generation expression profiling provides unsurpassed solutions for expression profiling and genome annotation. CAGE will be the experimental approach at need to link gene expression and control regions in the genome. With the availability of next-generation sequencing methods, DNAFORM now offers DeepCAGE services. DeepCAGE libraries are prepared for direct analysis by an Illumina/Solexa Sequencer. One sequencing run using one channel on an Illumina/Solexa Sequencer can yield in over 4,000,000 reads per sample. CAGE is based on our full-length cDNA library technology, where an adaptor is ligated to the 5''''-end of full-length cDNAs, which introduces a recognition site for a Class IIs restriction endonuclease adjacent to the 5''''-end of the cDNA. The Class IIs restriction endonuclease, here MmeI, allows for the cloning of short tags as derived from the 5''''-end of transcripts into concatemers for high-throughput sequencing. CAGE tags are further characterized by mapping to genomic sequences, which enables the identification of transcriptional start sites. As such CAGE can contribute to projects in Gene Discovery, Gene Expression, and Promoter Identification. After the genome sequencing projects have provided us with the genetic blueprints for many organisms, new questions have to be answered on how to correlate the observed genotypes with related phenotypes, and how to understand the regulation of genetic information in time and space. The dynamics of living systems and the functional behavior of cells in multicellular organisms has thus become the subject of the emerging field of system biology. Integration of experimental approaches and computer aided theories on a system level will be the fundamental principle to drive systems biology in order to understand the principles behind complex regulatory networks, which will be an ambitious goal requiring new approaches in life sciences.
