 BioinformaticsResearch and Development at work in the junction of IT and ScienceA genetic sequence of DNA is the basis of an organism's structure at the cellular level. Since the recent development of high quality, affordable sequencing biochemistry and engineering, the public supply of genomic information has been expanding rapidly -- there are now over 200 organisms with fully sequenced and assembled genomes. Vecna is involved in research on microbial proteomics, operon prediction, phylogenetics, epitope analysis, sequence polymorphism, protein interaction networks, sequence homology, molecular evolution, predictive algorithm development, ontological clustering, and analyzing macromolecular structures for similarities. Our goal is an integrated life science informatics data content and parsing environment, utilizing heavily predictive |
life science knowledge management support for wet lab biochemistry and molecular biology experiments performed at academic, government, and industry labs. The basis of Vecna's strength in these areas are skill in software and hardware, as well as the ingenuity of the personnel on the team. All Vecna algorithms run on the Linux environment, considered to be the gold standard for bioinformatics operating systems. With a distributed, failsafe network of machines and a core 128-node supercomputer cluster, Vecna is well established for resource-intensive biological computing. Our vision for bioinformatics
at Vecna is a self-supporting Center of Excellence, leveraging our skills
in microbial proteomics, using our supercomputing cluster, collaborating
strongly in the metro DC area and beyond, and developing algorithms
that solve core problems of human health related to microbial pathogens
and genetic diseases. By integrating with proteomics groups, array production
teams, research scientists, and bioinformatics application developers,
Vecna will continue to lead the way. |
