A recent article at West Big Data Innovation Hub described how Boise State used high performance computing to help process microbiome pipelines for the Genomes Underlying Toxin Tolerance (GUTT) program. Sets of genetic data are analyzed using supercomputers to find the function of microorganisms. Streamlining the analysis makes discoveries more efficient, which is a key goal of the project.
“Data from this project are FAIR and the methods Dr. Galla is developing for data stewardship at the edge are translational,” said Elizabeth Leake, Director of Research Computing at Boise State. “By sharing with the West Big Data Hub, her work enables others to accelerate the process of discovery in a range of research applications with similar challenges,” she added.
