Abstract:
The National Center for Genome Analysis Support is an NSF funded resource designed to supply bioinformatic support and computational infrastructure to genomics projects requiring large RAM computational resources – specifically de novo sequence assembly. We are developing a national scale infrastructure to support biological researchers that will use Galaxy to interface between the biologists and the cyberinfrastructure. The ability of NCGAS to assist with bioinformatic software optimization was recently demonstrated by our assistance in optimizing the runtime performance of Trinity resulting in over 3x speed improvement.
