Welcome to the Biotecnología Agroalimentaria research group
(subgroup for Many-core Bioinformatics Algorithms Development)

Last update: 10/14/2010
Updated both MC64-NW and MC64-NWSW algorithms. Fixed a bug related to the differences in sequences attending if they were lower or upper case (algorithms considered then different bases). Now algorithms work fine and and always return the resulting alignment in upper case.
About the research group
Our research group focuses its efforts to analysis of biological data for finding relevant information about the quality of products for human consuming. To do this, we are a multi-disciplined set of researchers mainly grouped in two areas: Biology and Computer Science. This web site is related to the Bioinformatics area and its development on highly parallelized algorithms to do very fast several tasks usually required by biologists.
Our development is carried out by means of many-core processors made up by Tilera Corporation which has provided us with TilExpress20GTM cards to develop our algorithms into a true many-core environment. These cards are inserted into a 8x PCI-Express slot of a laptop PC with CentOS 5.3 operating system, so there is no need to acquire any special hardware to make them working. The development is carried out with an Eclipse based environment with a compiler and simulator adapted to the Tile64TM RISC arquitecture. the part
The subgroup oriented to software development is composed by:
| Researcher | Title | Organization |
|---|---|---|
| Gabriel Dorado Pérez | Main researcher | Universidad de Córdoba |
| Sergio Gálvez Rojas | Software development coordinator | Universidad de Málaga |
| Juan Antonio Caballero Molina | Statistic researcher | Universidad de Córdoba |
| David Díaz González | Bioinformatics software developer | Universidad de Córdoba |
| Pilar Hernández Molina | Agronomy researcher | Instituto de Agricultura Sostenible |
| Francisco José Esteban Risueño | Bioinformatics researcher | Universidad de Córdoba |
This site will grow with the new developments we made in the future. We will let the algorithms to be used by any external research group who want to test their speed. To do so, please, contact with galvez@lcc.uma.es.
