[Cloud Computing for All Walks of Life ] Cloud-computing revolution applies to evolution

[Ravindra Dastikop]

A $1.1 million National Science Foundation grant to two Rice University computer science groups will allow them to build cloud-computing tools to help analyze evolutionary patterns.

With the three-year grant, Christopher Jermaine and Luay Nakhleh, both associate professors of computer science, will develop parallel-processing tools that track the evolution of genes and genomes across species.

The Rice team expects its new open-source algorithms will bring sophisticated computing techniques to researchers who have limited access to supercomputing resources but can easily rent "cloud-computing" time from the likes of Amazon or Microsoft. For complete and original post see here
