DNA sequencing
One of our primary research goals is to develop solutions for the effective use of grids to solve large-scale scientific problems. Our current research is on developing grid-based solutions for two applications, namely, climate and weather modeling and DNA sequence transformation analysis.
In the area of DNA sequence transformations, we have developed strategies for predictions of future sequences of phylogenetic trees on computational grids based on cellular automata rules for neighbor-dependent mutations.The research developed a grid system that performs parallel guided explorations of the rules on grid resources. We demonstrated that our strategies are able to give much better predictions than random strategies.
