Science Foundation: Algorithms for Threat Detection
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10540/nsf10540.htm
Calls for new and
improved mathematical and statistical methods and high performance algorithms
to speed DNA data sequencing. Beyond
methods to sample and organize the sheer amount of data in a meaningful way,
challenges include development of quantitative methods and models to estimate
errors for the various sequencing platforms; algorithms and mathematical
estimates of the reliability of genomes assembled from short gapped reads;
approaches to distinguish sequence-determination errors from biological
polymorphism and mutation; and means to distinguish among multiple genomes
within a single dataset, particularly when those different genomes are
represented at vastly different abundance.

Important areas of
supported research include: (1) novel numerical methods for the scalable
solution of large-scale, linear and nonlinear systems of equations; (2)
innovative approaches for analyzing and extracting insight from large-scale
data sets; (3) efficient techniques for characterizing, propagating, and/or
quantifying uncertainties and errors in next-generation solver, optimization,
simulation, analysis, and other codes; and (4) multiscale methods for
continuous and/or discrete systems that efficiently account for physics and
subcomponent interactions across vastly different time and length scales.
