Scientists in all disciplines increasingly rely on simulations to develop a better understanding of the subject they are studying. For example the neuroscientists we collaborate with in the Blue Brain project have started to simulate the brain on a supercomputer. The level of detail of their models is unprecedented as they model details on the subcellular level (e.g., the neurotransmitter)....

28. Genome, Genomics and Metagenomics : Sequencing the Universe

Dr Nicolas Guex (Vital-IT group)

28/05/2013, 11:40

With the advance in DNA sequencing technology the amount of data generated by life and medical scientists are faster than the ability to analyse them. Small universities and group are facing the problem that large sequencing center were facing 15 years ago. This require major paradigm shift in the way we represent, mine and analyze genomic (-omics) data. Knowing that despite the fact that DNA...
