Atos announces that the Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico (CNAG-CRG) in Barcelona has chosen an Atos supercomputer to support its work in large-scale DNA sequencing and analysis. To support the vast process and calculation demands needed for this analysis, CNAG-CRG worked with Atos to build this custom-made analytics platform, which helps drive new insights ten times faster than its previous HPC system. The Atos supercomputer boosts CNAG-CRG's supercomputing capacity, which contributes to positioning it as one of the top European centers in genome sequencing and one of the leading genomic research institutions in the world. It can now offer deeper and more complete genomic analysis to health organizations and research groups. The CNAG-CRG is involved in large-scale sequencing projects. These are in areas as diverse as cancer genetics, rare diseases, host-pathogen interactions, preservation of endangered species, evolutionary studies and the improvement of agriculturally useful species. The center analyses more than 60 billion genomic bases every day and needs to perform fast and accurate analysis to efficiently process these vast volumes of data.
