What is IBM contributing to the Genographic Project?
IBM is providing project funding through its IBM Foundation for the duration of the study. Scientists from IBM’s Computational Biology Center, one of the world’s foremost life sciences research facilities, use advanced analytical technologies and data sorting techniques to help interpret the samples and to discover new patterns and connections within the data they contain. IBM is also providing the core computational knowledge and infrastructure that manages the hundreds of thousands of genetic codes being analyzed by the Genographic Project.
