Keeping on top of the data deluge

Today, biology is a data-driven science, intrinsically linked to computing.  However, dialogue between researchers and computer scientists about the analysis of genomic data is still far from 'organic'. The HPCBio group and the Texas Advanced Computing Center are addressing this issue with a distributed approach to computing resources, new software, and tailored customer services.
