Subject: [9fans] FASTA DNA sequence search library
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2001 12:52:24 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A995468.7431A9B2@mail.usask.ca> (raw)

If anyone is interested in bioinformatics and plan9 (it's very good for
testing the distributed capabilities of the OS), i have ported the FASTA
packages for gene sequence alignment searches to p9...

what i'm basically doing is trying to compare a p9 installation of
several cpu servers and a corresponding pvm-based beowulf something or
other...

since p9 is not optimized and tuned yet, i'm mostly focusing on how much
easier coding and distributed computing is on this platform...

if anyone is interested send me an email and i'll give you the ported
sources... if there's enough interest, once i get this project finished
i'll send here an url of my findings (provided it finishes.. ever.. :)

cheers, andrey

ps: fasta2 is also ported...

Version 3 of the FASTA packages contains many programs for searching DNA
and protein databases and one program (prss3) for evaluating statistical
significance from randomly shuffled sequences. Several additional
analysis programs, including programs that produce local alignments, are
available as part of version 2 of the FASTA package, which is still
available.
