Part of this work involved sequencing the genomes of all the organisms present in the Tara samples. We sequenced around 40 million genes, using a huge chunk of EMBL\u2019s HPC cluster for several weeks. Jurij in IT Services helped me set this up as a low-priority job to maximise the computational power I could get without causing problems for anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re also doing work on imaging the Tara samples. We\u2019re using machine learning to analyse microscope images and identify the organisms in them. With the computational firepower at EMBL, we\u2019ve been able to do this in high throughput, analysing around 4 terabytes of data in just a few days. Having seen the computational infrastructure that\u2019s available elsewhere, I believe we were able to get this work done much faster at EMBL than would be possible at most other institutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"embl_taxonomy":[],"class_list":["post-351","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"embl_taxonomy_terms":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/it-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/it-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/it-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/it-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/it-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/it-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/351\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7122,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/it-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/351\/revisions\/7122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/it-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embl_taxonomy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/it-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embl_taxonomy?post=351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
