Insilicos Awarded Grant to Develop Cloud Computing Biomarker Search System

Insilicos has been awarded a grant to develop a highly-scalable, cloud computing-based system to search protein databases. The system is intended for use in mass spectrometry proteomics.

Seattle, 23 August 2010 - Insilicos announced today that the company has been awarded a grant to develop a highly-scalable, cloud computing-based system to search protein databases. The system is intended for use in mass spectrometry proteomics.

Insilicos will be modifying the open-source X!Tandem protein search engine for use with large cloud-based computer clusters, to search for post-translational modifications to proteins. Post-translationally modified proteins can be important biomarkers for understanding human health and disease.

This work is supported by funding from the National Human Genome Research Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health.

Insilicos LLC is a biomarker discovery and diagnostic development company, concentrating on cardiovascular disease.
