Neuroscience researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz, University of California San Francisco, and Washington University in St. Louis use the cloud-scale Pacific Research Platform and National Research Platform to share and compute massive open-source datasets, accelerating experiment times from weeks to mere hours.
Big Data: How the PRP Enables Scientists to Unlock Genetic Secrets
Categories Cultural & Scientific Healthcare RENS & NRENS Pacific Wave
With innovative networking tools available on the Pacific Research Platform, Professor Alex Feltus at Clemson University in South Carolina analyzes massive genomics datasets to better understand how genes interact to cause disease in humans. His dream is for everyone to have access to the PRP, which would drastically accelerate scientific discovery.
Identifying Tiny Organisms with Giant Impact on Climate
Advances in automated plankton identification will benefit the fields of both computer science and biological science, enabling improved classification algorithms for machine learning and vast new data streams for plankton ecology. With success, the ability to rapidly and automatically find patterns in plankton ecology could drastically speed up observations of climate change challenges and solutions.
