The core research objectives of Mr. SymBioMath are:
- Research on the Big-Data problems and computational intensive applications in high-performance computing:
- New software libraries for out-of-core management of Big-Data, specially for I/O
- Reduction of the computational space and runtime for all-all sequences
- New data structures for in-core data management to reduce memory demand
- New data processing applications in comparative genomics, especially those related to Big-Data sets, to allow genome-wide association studies, such as:
- Modelling evolutionary events (SNP, mutations, translocations, deletions, duplications, inversions, etc.) aimed to understand evolution and extrapolate from them the divergence between sequences for phylogenetic tree construction
- Comparison and synthesis of inter-genome distances
- Gene-Gene interactions studies correlated with phenotype data
- Implementing and packing commercial application prototypes to evaluate the potential for their exploitation in biomedical cases, in concrete in the study of
- Adverse reactions to treatment in allergic patients
- Interfacing, visualisation, and integration of external data sources as well as functional annotations
