Motif Finding by Phylogenetic Footprinting——Parallel Realization based on C/S Mode

摘要

Azospirillum brasilense(A.. brasilense) is considered to be important plant-growth promoting bacterium. In order to study its unknown genes, phylogenetic footprinting was performed on it and its five orthologous strains. Because of serial implementation by single computer, the efficiency is low. Research shows that the whole process consists of lots of repeated, data-independent operations, e.g. the extraction of textual information, the comparison of DNA sequences etc.Under LAN environment, a parallel way for implementing phylogenetic footprinting by multiple computers based on Client/Server mode was proposed While making full use of resources, the efficiency is increased remarkably.
