    Evaluating Work Flow Management Tools

    Brett Milash, Center for High Performance Computing, University of Utah   One of my roles at the University of Utah involves supporting scientists developing computing work flows on the computer clusters here at the Center for High Performance Computing. Toward this goal I am evaluating a number of the countless work flow management tools out…

  • HPC bioinformatics and transcriptomics

    “I am a sixth year graduate student in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. I started a transcriptomics project with little experience in coding and no experience in high powered computing (HPC). Without Bob Freeman’s work through ACI-REF I do not think I would have been able to complete my bioinformatics project. I was…

  • Whole genome alignment

    Whole genome alignment is crucial to a large number of important applications in genomics, and is particularly important to our work on convergent evolution in birds. The current state of the art software for whole genome alignment is progressiveCactus, developed by the same group that built the UCSC genome browser. Getting this software to work…
