AeroGenome – Crunching on a PC AeroGenome – Crunching on a PC GridGrid
• Aim: To study bacterial micro-organisms in the air in Singapore.
• Motivation: Air plays significant role in public & environmental health
• Initial dataset of 20,000 DNA sequences were matched against database of 3 million known sequences. Single run on isolated compute resources took an entire month.
• Same process took less than 2 days on TCG@NUS
• Future: Scale up study using larger datasets.
