Cartesian Gridspeed of New Zealand Launches Revolutionary Genomics Sequencing Software in US Market.AUCKLAND, New Zealand New Zealand (zē`lənd), island country (2005 est. pop. 4,035,000), 104,454 sq mi (270,534 sq km), in the S Pacific Ocean, over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) SE of Australia. The capital is Wellington; the largest city and leading port is Auckland. -- Cartesian Gridspeed, a New Zealand bioinformatics software developer, will officially launch its SLIM Search product to the US market at the BIO 2007 Convention today in Boston. Cartesian Gridspeed's Chief Scientist Leonard Bloksberg said, "On this trip to the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. , we have already seen incredible interest in our software. We have been invited, unsolicited, by major research laboratories and pharmaceutical companies to talk about what our technology could do for them, and see some major initiatives growing out of these discussions." A major computational hurdle in genomics research is the demanding hardware requirements associated with sequence searching. SLIM Search's patented sequence search technology has the potential to completely redefine Verb 1. redefine - give a new or different definition to; "She redefined his duties" define, delimit, delimitate, delineate, specify - determine the essential quality of 2. genomics research by endowing a single work station with the computing power of a multiple-node supercomputer supercomputer, a state-of-the-art, extremely powerful computer capable of manipulating massive amounts of data in a relatively short time. Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized scientific and engineering applications that must handle very cluster. SLIM Search operates up to 10,000 times faster than the industry standard software BLAST. Dr Bloksberg provides an illustration, "Our software deployed on a single work station could outperform Outperform An analyst recommendation meaning a stock is expected to do slightly better than the market return. Notes: Exact definitions vary by brokerage, but in general this rating is better than neutral and worse than buy or strong buy. a column of servers stacked one mile high running BLAST. In practical terms this means that SLIM Search opens possibilities for biological research that heretofore were either impossible or too tedious and time consuming to be practical."
