Microbial communities and rapid evolution
Microbial communities may inform understanding of rapid evolution Lauren Michael, a research computing facilitator at the Center for High Throughput Computing (CHTC), says researchers tend to use the CHTC resources for two reasons: they have massive volumes of data or a need for incredibly complex computations. Bontrager has a bit of both, and uses the…

Using the Grid to Understand Crops
UW botanist harnesses the grid to illuminate crop growth Spalding’s Birge Hall lab is pretty far removed from conventional dirt-under-the-nails botany. In one room, a row of stationary cameras bathed in red light train in on Petri dishes that contain seedlings growing in a gel. These cameras take pictures every two minutes, producing rich time-lapse…

Facilitating data transfer
Genomics research is one of the largest drivers in generating Big Data for science, with the potential to equal, if not surpass, the data output of the particle physics community. Like physicists, university-based life-science researchers must collaborate with counterparts and access data repositories across the nation and globe. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)…

Big data and Alzheimer’s detection
Campus big data project may point the way to Alzheimer’s early detection The team uses the Center for High Throughput Computing (CHTC), supported by UW-Madison and the Morgridge Institue, to segment MRI brain images that in some cases can take 12-24 hours for a single brain. “For many hundreds of brain scans, we need a…
