We allow students, academics, alumni and researchers to get secure and seamless access to our computer resources using one set of credentials granted by their home organisation.
Until recently processing their insect DNA sequence data collected from the next generation sequencing-by-synthesis platforms took one whole week per individual; even when using a fast multi-core desktop Linux machine with plenty of RAM.
Using high performance computing to address genetic problems presents researchers with an opportunity to advance the biological sciences. A researcher at Massey is harnessing HPC to study the effects of social behaviour on small, isolated populations.
NeSI's high performance computing facilities are helping a Lincoln University researcher combat biosecurity breaches by speeding up genomic analysis and the ability to identify invasive pests.
