Linux Networx Cluster System Speeds Development of Disease Diagnostic Products (LinuxMedNews)

LinuxMedNews takes a look at a Linux NetworX Evolocity II cluster that speeds gene analysis. "Diagnostics help detect the presence of certain diseases so proper medical treatment can begin in the early stages of the disease. The Linux Networx system analyzes DNA and protein sequences to locate specific disease targets. The targets are then used to develop diagnostic products for diseases that are typically difficult to detect at an early stage, such as ovarian cancer."

...would be if they could get a Beowulf cluster of linux system filing patent applications on various bits of DNA sequences.
