nVidia CUDA Bioinformatics: An Introduction

off

Introduction As most readers of this blog will know, bioinformatics has always been a data-heavy field of research. Many computational problems within bioinformatics can scale up to the sky, from protein folding to calculating homology in sequences. But the real motherload of repetitive data was unleashed on the bioinformatics community when Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) […]

Bioinformatics Frameworks Part 5: Cromwell and WDL

off

Recently I visited the DTL Programmers Meeting, where I had a discussion with members of the SASC bioinformatics development group. For them, bioinformatics pipelines are more about scalibilty and manageablity, not about user-friendliness or readability. They opted for Cromwell, a framework language maintained by the Broad Institute.
