G10K in the News: Hearing on "The state of research infrastructure at U.S. Universities"
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
Computing has become an integral part of the fabric of experimental and theoretical science. All but the simplest laboratory experiments are performed under computer control, the data is analyzed using software running on a personal computer or small compute cluster, and the results compared with the latest theories through computational simulations on high performance computers. ... The proposed Genome 10K project is an example of the future of genomic research.
