Chao-Qiang Lai and their colleagues' Tufts/HNRC research is focusing on Nutrigenomics to study gene-diet interactions in the area of cardiovascular diseases, utilizing both genetic epidemiology approaches as well as controlled dietary intervention studies. This research involves the investigation of nutrient-gene interactions in large and diverse populations around the world with long-standing collaborations with investigators in Europe, Asia, Australia and the United States. For the current project, they were using the cluster to deal with a large amount of genome data, such as genetic variants in human genomes, which can not be handled with their laptop computer. The cluster is over 50X faster than their laptop. It would not be possible to complete their research project without it!
