Whole Genome Sequencing – A healthy start of the HiPEAC Conference
‘Can we analyze cancer is less than an hour?’
The HiPEAC conference in Munich is taking of with a healthy start. Reetupama Das, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the University of Michigan, is taking he audience into a deep dive into Genome Sequencing. She highlights the growing possibilities in Whole Genome Sequencing due to faster computers, more storage, higher security and new technologies like machine learning. Smaller, even handheld analyzing systems can help fighting diseases in humans, animals and food. The faster the analyses, the faster can be the response for diseases. For example, these technologies (and with the help of smaller handheld analyzing tools like the minion), can help do cancer analyzing in less than an hour. The MinION is a small handheld device that allows researchers to do realtime analysis of samples. The MinION starts at $1000 and delevers up to 48 GB on data.
The keynote speech from Reetupama Das, marks the start of 3 days workshop sessions on new computer architectures, RISC-V developments, new IoT solutions and students present their research papers.
