Human Genome Center at the Institute of Medical Science, the University of Tokyo
Overview With the renewal of their supercomputer system in January 2003, the Human Genome Center at the Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo, updated their publicly available Internet service, which allows any user to search genomic databases. The center chose HiRDB, a scalable database from Hitachi, to achieve rapid searching of the genome data, which consists of 82.6 billion characters and 45.7 million records (as of April, 2005). HiRDB offers high-speed response, due to its scalable parallel processing and flexible data storage. Highly extensible HiRDB efficiently stores the increasing amount of genetic information to support the continuing development of applied genome science.
