Grid Computing for BioinformaticsMore than 276 genomes have been sequenced and genome sequencing of 1220 organisms are at various levels of completion. Information retrieved from genome data can prove invaluable for pharmaceutical industries, for in silico drug target identification and new drug discovery. The enormity of data and complexity of algorithms make the above tasks computationally demanding, necessitating the effective use of computational resources beyond those available to researchers at a single location Grid technologies enable sharing of bioinformatics data from different sites by creating a virtual organization of the data.
