Bilateral Contracts with Industry

Processing in memory

Participants : Charles Deltel, Dominique Lavenier.

The UPMEM company is currently developing new memory devices with embedded computing power (http://www.upmem.com/). GenScale investigates how bioinformatics algorithms can benefit from these new types of memory. In 2018 we parallelized the detection of short variants (see new results section).

Tank milk analysis

Participants : Dominique Lavenier, Jacques Nicolas.

The Seenergi company has developed a biotechnology protocol to detect cow mastitis directly by analyzing the milk of the tanks. Cows are first genotyped. Since cows with mastitis produce a high level of lymphocytes, a DNA milk analysis can point out infested cows. Currently, DNA chips are used to support this analysis. We are currently investigating the possibility to use sequencing technologies in order to both reduce cost analysis and to extend the detection to larger herds.
