BioBrew Linux is an open source Linux distribution specially designed for bioinformatics purposes. It builds on the NPACI Rocks cluster software and provides additional enhancements to meet the requirements of bioinformaticists.
BioBrew Linux is an excellent open-source Linux distribution that has been designed with life scientists in mind. It has been customized for both bioinformatics and cluster computing, providing an automated cluster installation process and access to all the HPC software that a cluster enthusiast may need.
This open-source Linux distribution is based on the NPACI Rocks cluster software, but operates just like the ordinary Red Hat Linux. What sets it apart is its inclusion of popular cluster software like MPI, LAM-MPI, PVM, Modules, PVFS, Myrinet GM, Sun Grid Engine, gcc, Ganglia, and Globus. Moreover, it also includes popular bioinformatics software like BLAST, mpiBLAST, HMMER, ClustalW, GROMACS, PHYLIP, WISE, FASTA, and EMBOSS.
With BioBrew Linux, life scientists and bioinformaticists can work on everything from notebook computers to large clusters, making it a versatile tool for different use cases. The one limitation to bear in mind is that at this time, BioBrew Linux for the Itanium architecture is only available for purchase via Callident. For any information regarding BioBrew Linux on Itanium, please contact the Brewmeister Glen Otero.
Overall, BioBrew Linux is an excellent choice for life scientists and bioinformaticists who need an open-source Linux distribution that is tailored to their needs and comes packed with useful tools to help them get their work done.
