HPC Connects: The Search for Elusive Proteins that perform Gene Editing
by staff from High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC on (#37KCM)
In this video from the SC17 HPC Connects series, David Paez-Espino from the Joint Genome Institute describes how researchers are using supercomputing to search for elusive proteins that perform gene editing. "This revolutionary work requires petaflops of computing power to sift through billions of DNA sequences in the JGI data portals to identify proteins like Cas9 that, combined with the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), can "edit" a genome."
