BMC Bioinformatics (2015) 16:379 DOI 10.1186/s12859-015-0812-9 METHODOLOGY ARTICLE Open Access QQ-SNV: single nucleotide variant detection at low frequency by comparing the quality quantiles Koen Van der Borght1,2*, Kim Thys1, Yves Wetzels1, Lieven Clement3, Bie Verbist1, Joke Reumers1, Herman van Vlijmen1 and Jeroen Aerssens1 Abstract Background: Next generation sequencing enables studying heterogeneous populations of viral infections. When the sequencing is done at high coverage depth (“deep sequencing”), low frequency variants can be detected. Here we present QQ-SNV (http://sourceforge.net/projects/qqsnv), a logistic regression classifier model developed for the Illumina sequencing platforms that uses the quantiles of the quality scores, to distinguish true single nucleotide variants from sequencing errors based on the estimated SNV probability. To train the model, we created a dataset of an in silico mixture of five HIV-1 plasmids. Testing of our method in comparison to the existing methods LoFreq, ShoRAH, and V-Phaser 2 was performed on two HIV and four HCV plasmid mixture datasets and one influenza H1N1 clinical dataset. Results: For default application of QQ-SNV, variants were called using a SNV probability cutoff of 0.5 (QQ-SNVD). To improve the sensitivity we used a SNV probability cutoff of 0.0001 (QQ-SNVHS). To also increase specificity, SNVs called were overruled when their frequency was below the 80th percentile calculated on the distribution of error frequencies (QQ-SNVHS-P80). When comparing QQ-SNV versus the other methods on the plasmid mixture test sets, QQ-SNVD performed similarly to the existing approaches.

We are inspired to make a computer vision watch to let them know what the object is and guide their hand to the chosen object. We have developed a mobile watch and armband device for under $250 that can identify common objects and guide a users hand to them. Component Description Bluno Beetle The Bluno Beetle is a low cost ATmega328 based microcontroller. Designed for wearable technologies, it is small and lightweight at only 29mm x 33mm and 10 grams. There are 4 digital IO pins which is exactly what we needed to run the 4 vibrating disc motors. Best of all it has a micro USB port for ease of programming and is recognized as an arduino UNO by the Arduino IDE. This allows for port manipulation using the same commands as the arduino UNO. Figure 1. Bluno Beetle Development board RaspberryPi 3 The RaspberryPI 3 is a small, lightweight computer running debian linux and supports the python language the Camera CSI port and USB connectivity making this a great option for the computer vision component and main processor for the project.

This on-premises offering sits in the corporate network and allows PATRICK HAHN users to develop code, access internal resources, BETSY BEYER and use GUI tools remotely from anywhere in the Oworld. Among its most notable features, a virtual desktop instance can be sized according to the task at hand, has persistent user storage, and can be moved between corporate data centers to follow traveling Googlers. Until recently, our virtual desktops were hosted on commercially available hardware on Google’s corporate network using a homegrown open-source virtual cluster- management system called Ganeti (http://www.ganeti. org/). Today, this substantial and Google-critical workload runs on GCP (Google Compute Platform). This article discusses the reasons for the move to GCP, and how the migration was accomplished. acmqueue | may-june 2018 58 virtual desktops 2 OF 21 WHY MIGRATE TO GCP? While Ganeti is inexpensive to run, scalable, and easy to integrate with Google’s internal systems, running a do-it-yourself full-stack virtual fleet had some notable drawbacks. Because running virtual desktops on Ganeti entailed managing components from the hardware up to the VM manager, the service was characterized by: 3 Long lead times to expand fleet capacity. 3 Substantial and ongoing maintenance overhead. 3 Difficulty in staffing the team, given the required breadth and depth of technologies involved.

  • Construct a Grid Computing Environment on Multiple Linux PC Clusters
    Tunghai Science Vol. 5: 107−124 107 July, 2003 Construct a Grid Computing Environment on Multiple Linux PC Clusters Chuan-Lin Lai and Chao-Tung Yang * Abstract Internet computing and Grid technologies promise to change the way we tackle complex problems. They will enable large-scale aggregation and sharing of computational, data and other resources across institutional boundaries. And harnessing these new technologies effectively will transform scientific disciplines ranging from high-energy physics to the life sciences. In this paper, a grid computing environment is proposed and constructed on multiple Linux PC Clusters by using Globus Toolkit (GT) and SUN Grid Engine (SGE). The experimental results are also conducted by using the pi problem, prime problem, and matrix multiplication to demonstrate the performance. Keywords: Cluster Computing, Grid Computing, Globus ToolKit, PC Clusters, SUN Grid Engine. 1. Introduction Grid computing, most simply stated, is distributed computing taken to the next evolutionary level. The goal is to create the illusion of a simple yet large and powerful self managing virtual computer out of a large collection of connected heterogeneous systems sharing various combinations of resources. The standardization of communications between heterogeneous systems created the Internet explosion. The emerging standardization for sharing resources, along with the availability of higher bandwidth, are driving a possibly equally large evolutionary step in grid computing [1, 14, 15]. The Infrastructure of grid is a form of networking. Unlike conventional networks that focus on communication among devices, grid computing harnesses unused processing cycles of all computers in a network for solving problems too intensive for any stand-alone machine.
