Abstract
The successful mapping of the human genome has accelerated
the study of proteins and protein-protein interactions
by enabling rapid conversion of gene sequence data into
protein structures. The challenge is to develop a flexible,
fast and cost-effective way to accelerate biological
(genomic and proteomic) data for processing, integration
and analysis. Any viable solution must have the following
parameters: Flexibility, scalability, cost effectiveness
and speed
A parallel implementation of NCBI BLAST [the homology
search application distributed by the National Center
for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)] can be of great
help with installation of corresponding nodes thus reducing
BLAST time in a linear fashion. Accelerating BLAST in
this fashion allows scientists to identify a broader
array of novel genes and proteins faster.
