Summary
Fast, lightweight and live nanopore sequencing analysis. This project aims to address limitations in nanopore sequencing (latest emerging technology in genomics) by applying advanced computational methods. This project expects to create new knowledge in bioinformatics and computer science through innovative approaches that leverage the live data streaming capability of nanopore devices to deliver results rapidly, or in real-time. Expected outcomes include improved, highly efficient analysis meth ....Fast, lightweight and live nanopore sequencing analysis. This project aims to address limitations in nanopore sequencing (latest emerging technology in genomics) by applying advanced computational methods. This project expects to create new knowledge in bioinformatics and computer science through innovative approaches that leverage the live data streaming capability of nanopore devices to deliver results rapidly, or in real-time. Expected outcomes include improved, highly efficient analysis methods and designs for future creation of custom computer hardware for nanopore analysis. This will facilitate widespread adoption of nanopore technology in bioscience research and applied domains (health, agriculture, ecology, biosecurity and forensics), including for portable in-the-field applications.

Internet Timing for the Ages: Establishing the New Timekeeping System. All computers incorporate a software clock, essential to myriad software applications. An economic way to synchronize such clocks is over a network, however the approach the Internet currently depends upon is unreliable and vulnerable. This project aims to establish a new architecture for networked timekeeping, built on future-proofed fundamentals, that will for the first time address each of accuracy, reliability, and trust. ....Internet Timing for the Ages: Establishing the New Timekeeping System. All computers incorporate a software clock, essential to myriad software applications. An economic way to synchronize such clocks is over a network, however the approach the Internet currently depends upon is unreliable and vulnerable. This project aims to establish a new architecture for networked timekeeping, built on future-proofed fundamentals, that will for the first time address each of accuracy, reliability, and trust. The expected outcome is a national prototype, serving the public with accurate and trusted time, that will form the basis of the next generation timekeeping system for the Internet and the Internet of Things. Expected benefits include enhanced productivity across the digital economy, and resilience to GPS failures.Read moreRead less
