The high-performance computing I/O stack has been complex due to multiple software
layers, the inter-dependencies among these layers, and the different performance tuning …

We are at the beginning of a genomic revolution in which all known species are planned to
be sequenced. Accessing such data for comparative analyses is crucial in this new age of …

With the rapid development of next-generation sequencing technology, ever-increasing
quantities of genomic data pose a tremendous challenge to data processing. Therefore …

Mycorrhizal fungi are mutualists that play crucial roles in nutrient acquisition in terrestrial
ecosystems. Mycorrhizal symbioses arose repeatedly across multiple lineages of …

Mushroom-forming fungi (Agaricomycetes) have the greatest morphological diversity and
complexity of any group of fungi. They have radiated into most niches and fulfil diverse roles …

The energy consumed by data centers is starting to make up a significant fraction of the
world's energy consumption and carbon emissions. A large fraction of the consumed energy …

Armillaria species are both devastating forest pathogens and some of the largest terrestrial
organisms on Earth. They forage for hosts and achieve immense colony sizes via …

This paper proposes and evaluates an approach to the parallelization, deployment and
management of bioinformatics applications that integrates several emerging technologies …

Background Microbial life dominates the earth, but many species are difficult or even
impossible to study under laboratory conditions. Sequencing DNA directly from the …

Massively parallel sequencing of DNA by pyrosequencing technology offers much higher
throughput and lower cost than conventional Sanger sequencing. Although extensively used …
