How do I...
- How can I find statistically significant genes?
- How do I make a website to share my data?
- How do I plan and design my experiments?
- How do I run 1000 BLAST's?
- How do I run a large parallel job?
- How do I send my scientific data to my collaborators?
- I need dedicated computing or storage resources. Who can help me purchase, manage and use those resources?
- Where can I find training in computational biology and general computing?
- Where can I store a large dataset?
- Who can help me improve the speed of my computation?
- Find resources to support computationally-intensive research
The Research Computing group provides high speed, large capacity computing environments specifically designed to support computationally-intensive research (such as analysis of gene expression microarray data and proteomics data, large sequencing data sets, and data mining). The group supports and maintains a cluster computing system, called “Odyssey,” that consists of 4096 cores operating at 2.3 GHz operating speed, each with 32 GB RAM. For more information, click here.
To contact Research Computing to discuss your project, please email the Executive Director of FAS Research Computing, James Cuff at james_cuff@harvard.edu or contact the Service desk.
