Abstract:
PURPOSE: A nucleic acid sequences analysis method and an apparatus using distributed processing, and a distributed processing system for nucleic acid sequences analysis are provided to efficiently perform sorting works by applying a task arranging the nucleic acid sequence of gene samples in the nucleic acid sequence of a genome to the distributed processing environment. CONSTITUTION: A sequence receiver receives a plurality of input sequences about nucleic acid generated from samples(801). A node determination unit decides nodes which are going to be distributed for each insertion sequence(802). A distributed processing controller transmits the insertion sequences to the decided node(803). A sequence analyzer combines and analyzes distributed processing results received from each node(804).
