Korilog and INRIA signs a partnership to develop a grid-capable release of KoriBlast.

A partnership with the research facility INRIA Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique and the University Rennes I has been started to enable biologists to exploit a calculation grid to accelerate searches in sequence banks.

In a first step, KoriBlast will be designed to exploit the calculation grid available on the bioinformatics services platform genouest.org from OUEST-genopole®. Laboratories connected to OUEST-genopole® with KoriBlast licenses will obtain a free update of KoriBlast if they wish to use the genouest.org calculation grid.

In a second step, public research laboratories external to OUEST genopole® that have a BLAST system installed on a calculation grid or cluster will be able to obtain KoriBlast with this new feature.
