What is the use of supercomputer in the mapping of human genome?
1) “The Ohio State University (OSU), Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), and LabBook announce that they have formed a partnership to provide life science researchers with an annotated map of the human genome. The project combines OSU’s annotated human genome database, backed by OSC’s computational power, with the powerful visualization and analysis capabilities of LabBook’s personal discovery space. The partnership allows scientists a view of the human genome to date. In June 2000, the international consortium of the Human Genome Project announced that they had completed a map of the human genome sequence. However, this important milestone is just the first step in identifying the genes hidden in the sequence and understanding their function – a process known as annotation. Through a novel combination of data resources, and with computational power provided by OSC, researchers at OSU have identified thousands of genes and obtained clues to their function. LabBook’s genomic discovery syste
