The Alignment of DNA Sequences in Systematic Biology: A Parallel Approach

该合同将支持在工作站网络中开发用于DNA序列比对的软件。DNA序列比对在系统生物学中具有重要意义，在系统生物学中，比较研究可以深入了解生物体与模式和进化过程之间的关系。这些对齐算法将针对由工作站网络提供的并行处理环境而开发。该奖项将测试这些算法在网络中移动到更多处理单元时的可扩展性。＊＊＊

9313720 Wheeler This award will support work to develop software for alignment of DNA sequences in a network of workstations. The alignment of DNA sequences has implications in systematic biology, where comparative studies give insight into relationships between organisms and the pattern and the process of evolution. These algorithms for alignment will be developed for the parallel processing environment offered by the network of workstations. The award will test the scalability of these algorithms as one moves to more processing units in the network. ***
