Attended unveiling of the fastest supercomputer in the world(#Summit at Oak Ridge National Lab(#ORNL) with peak performance of 200 petaflops).

Our new tool, Incremental BLAST, allows to add databases incrementally and "recycle" previous BLAST results through e-value correction! Please RT! Sajal Dash Hines Lab

An algorithmic approach to identify cancer causing combinations of genetic mutations #genomics #carcinogenesis #Mutation nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our paper titled "Identifying multi-hit carcinogenic gene combinations: Scaling up a weighted set cover algorithm using compressed binary matrix representation on a GPU" got published in Scientific Reports. It's an improvement on our earlier work. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Very proud to be a part of the team to develop NGS COVID-19 assay allowing 19200 patient sample at once! I am a bumble bee genome guy but in this extraordinary time, I switched my organism! Huge thanks to Ayaan Hossain Alex Reis and Howard Salis for the wonderful opportunity!

Each person’s cancer has a unique combination of genetic changes. And as the cancer continues to grow, additional changes will occur: cancer.gov/about-cancer/u…

Normalize that your students need not be put through unnecessary hardships and constant criticism, just because you have faced them as a student, and it “worked out for your best”. Academic Chatter™ #phdchat

Not sure how to handle fame now that my first ever manuscript just got accepted! So proud of our team and especially joint first author Mikee Inocencio. Feeling like a real scientist now 👩‍🔬 Academic Chatter™

Efficacy of the three novel vaccines

Our iBLAST tool just got published! iBLAST would make BLAST search economic and produce better results by reusing past computational effort. #BLAST #iBLAST Sarthok R. Rahman #PLOSONE: iBLAST: Incremental BLAST of new sequences via automated e-value correction dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Our new paper with Sajal Dash solves a problem in everyday bioinformatics; no need to rerun the entire BLAST job when db changes! Use iBLAST that searches only on incremental db, recomputes e-values to update results;(1 + δ)/δ times faster than NCBI BLAST! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

We trained our foundational "Forge" model on Frontier using hundreds of millions of scientific articles and abstracts. It shows excellent early promises on several scientific tasks, including material property prediction. We debuted the model during SC'23. dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114…

We have been exploring how to extract maximum efficiency during large language model training from Frontier. Here, we document our recipes for training large language models with 22 Billion, 175 Billion, and 1 Trillion parameters on Frontier. arxiv.org/abs/2312.12705
