Abstract

With the many advances in sequencing technology and exponential growth of computational capacities there comes a huge demand for processing larger and larger quantities of data. With respect to Biology there can be hundreds of gigabytes of data that can be involved in a single research study that requires computational analysis. Since each research project is unique in terms of design and desired outcome, the programs and tools that are required can vary greatly, but there are some analyses that are similar and can be compiled and optimized. The current research being conducted by Dr. Bybee focuses on the visual systems of Odonates (Dragonflies), and there is a need for bioinformatic pipelines to automate the many steps required to go from raw sequencing data to a informative phylogenetic tree of a high quality that is suitable to publication.
