Phylogenetic Analysis of Neuraminidase Genes of H5N1 Isolates using HPC Technologies

In this paper we present workflows for the phylogenetic analysis of Neuraminidase genes of H5N1 isolates and Influenza viruses using a new workflow design system called Quascade-MP2. We render the packages ClustalW and PHYLIP in a new biologist-friendly workflow system which uses high performance computing in clustered computing environments to accelerate the compute- intensive parts of these workflows.
