ETRI becomes data partner for global genome research group
Korea’s state-run Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) was designated a flagship data center for the world’s largest genome analysis research group, International Cancer Genome Consortium. By joining the team, ETRI’s cloud-based supercomputing system called Maha will be used to analyze genetic information from a pool of 2,000 cancer patients.The consortium consists of six supercomputer data centers from countries including the United States, Japan and Spain. It hopes this will reduce spending on finding best-fit cancer drugs worth about 60 trillion won ($58.7 billion).
