Ongoing project: General improvements to GeneRoot
The project aims to increase speed and efficiency in the GeneRoot project. Speed is a crucial part in any research and development environment. With the advancement of genomic sequencing technologies the speed of acquisition and the size of the data being handled in the field has shown growth by an exceptionally large factor in the last decade. As such GeneRoot and tools like it will be used for the analysis of amounts of data far exceeding the currently seen ones. Speed may be gained by employing a variety of different methods including: faster/more optimal search algorithms, better compression/ordering of data without loss of information and exploiting the full potential of modern hardware. Some of these methods will be tested and employed in the project.
