IUBio Archive and World-Wide High Performance Network Distribution of Bioinformatics Data

DBI 9982851吉尔伯特印第安纳大学IUBio档案和世界范围内生物信息学数据的高性能网络分发。摘要生物信息学的一个中心焦点是对生命遗传密码的大量和快速增长的知识。人类、植物和模式生物基因组计划和相关的国际努力正在全面解开这一密码的轨道上，从而为生物科学家带来了大量重要数据。互联网已经是分发这些数据的主要手段。随着其增长到数百千兆字节，以及互联网使用的快速增长带来了延迟，出现了使用高性能网络方法来加速其分发的需求。为了帮助满足这种需求，该项目支持以印第安纳大学为中心的IUBio档案和生物镜像，以实现高速、全球范围的基因组数据分发。IUBio档案在提供分子生物学数据和软件的公共访问和软件方面有十年的记录，并为全球生物科学界提供服务。一个生物镜像项目已经与国际合作者一起启动，以提供快速的公共访问和基因组数据的交换。日本、澳大利亚、新加坡、中国和韩国的生物信息学中心目前都参与了Bio-Mirrors的工作。这项奖励将支持增加计算机设备，以增加项目的稳定性和能力。

DBI 9982851 Gilbert Indiana University IUBio Archive and World-wide high performance network distribution of bioinformatics data. Summary A central focus of bioinformatics is the large and rapidly growing knowledge of the genetic code of life. Human, Plant and Model Organism Genome Projects and related international efforts are on track with a full unraveling of this code, resulting in a flood of important data to bioscientists. The Internet is already the primary means for distributing this data. As it is growing to tens of gigabytes, and rapid increase in use of the Internet has introduced delays, a needHas emerged for use of high performance network methods to speed its distribution.To help address this need, this project supports IUBio Archive and Bio-Mirrors, centered at Indiana University with international partners, for high speed, world-wide distribution of genome data.The IUBio Archive has a ten year record of providing public access to molecular biology data and software and serves a worldwide community of bioscientists A Bio-Mirror project has been initiated with international collaborators to provide rapid public access to and exchange of genome data. Bioinformatics centers in Japan, Australia, Singapore, China and Korea are currently involved with Bio-Mirrors. This award will support the addition of computer equipment to increase the stability and capability of the project.
