Abstract :
Emu lab is an emulation-based network test-bed constructed for research and education. It is used for building and testing applications in fields of information security and computer network. The application of Emu lab is being extended to parallel processing of scientific data. The DNA sequence search is one of major research areas in the bio-informatics. With the high-performance computing, the biologists can get their results easily and faster. mpiBLAST and mr-mpi-blast can process DNA sequence alignment on parallel computer. In this research, the research environments for mpiBLAST and mr-mpi-blast are built on Emu lab. Also, the DNA sequence alignment is performed with NCBI database. This research shows that the Emulab is an effective environment for the research of the bio-informatics.
