London Ruby User Group:Genomes On Rails
Genomes On Rails
Matt Wood is going to give a talk about the work he\'s been doing with rails at work:

The Human Genome Project aimed to determine the entire DNA sequence of man: it was completed in 13 years after an international effort and a billion dollar budget. To further our understanding of DNA, genes, proteins and their function, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is building the next generation of high throughput sequencing, using Ruby and Rails. This talk will cover the infrastructure required to handle multi-petabyte, highly scalable systems and how we are using Rails to quickly build flexible software to support this effort.

Matt is also giving a longer version of this talk at RailsConf Portland 2008 on the Sunday. Download the slides here

ABOUT THE LONDON RUBY USER GROUP
LRUG is the London Ruby User Group; a community of ruby developers based in and around London. We meet up at least once a month; on the 2nd Wednesday of the month we have meetings with talks, demos and such-like and then we have pub-based meetups organised on an ad-hoc basis (roughly half-way between meetings).
