Abstract
This paper presents a genetic algorithm running on a grid computing environment for inference of genetic networks. In bioinformatics, inference of genetic networks is one of the most important problems, in which mutual interactions among genes are estimated by using gene-expression time-course data. Network-Structure-Search Evolutionary Algorithm (NSS-EA) is a promising inference method of genetic networks that employs S-system as a model of genetic network and a genetic algorithm (GA) as a search engine. In this paper, we propose an implementation of NSS-EA running on a multi-PC-cluster grid computing environment where multiple PC clusters are connected over the Internet. We “Gridifiy” NSS-EA by using a framework for the development of GAs running on a multi-PC-cluster grid environment, named Grid-Oriented Genetic Algorithm Framework (GOGA Framework). We examined whether the “Gridified” NSS-EA works correctly and evaluated its performance on Open Bioinformatics Grid (OBIGrid) in Japan.
