Sequence Manipulation Suite Now Available on Massively's BioTech Virtual Power Center May 11, 2006; 02:27 AM Massively Parallel Technologies,
Inc. (Massively), a provider of on-demand high-performance computing,
announced a new service available on the BioTech Virtual Power
Center (VPC). The Sequence Manipulation Suite (SMS) is a collection of
JavaScript programs supporting short DNA and protein sequence
generation, format conversion and analysis. Comprised of over 50
programs, the tools complement Massively's Powered by HOWARD,
high-performance BLAST service.
"We recognize biologists' and researchers' need for a more integrated
workflow," stated Massively's CTO, Kevin Howard. "Availability of SMS
on the BioTech VPC means that users will have an easier time bringing
data in from one part of their analysis, manipulating the information
in one location and preparing the data for direct import into other
applications."
The Sequence Manipulation Suite was written by Paul Stothard,
University of Alberta, and is now available by going directly to the
BioTech VPC website - http://www.mptbiotech.com.
Massively's BioTech VPC delivers the benefits of high-performance
supercomputing without the costs and complexities associated with users
owning and managing their own compute clusters. Using a standard web
browser with Internet access, users can take advantage of Massively's
BioTech VPC without investing in any additional hardware or software.
During the introductory period, Massively's Powered by HOWARD
high-performance BLAST, SMS, and associated storage space will be
provided free of charge.
