What problems will "supercomputing" solve when encountering national treasures?

In recent years, with the rapid and high-quality increase in the number of artificially bred giant pandas, China's giant panda protection has achieved preliminary results. However, wild giant pandas still face threats such as habitat loss and degradation, and reduced genetic diversity. Conducting genetic diversity research on giant panda populations is crucial for the long-term survival of endangered wildlife such as giant pandas.

However, the total amount of genetic sequence and genetic diversity data calculation for giant pandas is large and there are many tasks,High requirements for computing and storage.In order to break through this data computing bottleneck, both sides rely on the Endangered Animal Genetics and Computing Innovation Center, integrate the power of genetics and computing science, and greatly shorten the calculation time of giant panda gene sequence, gene structure, and other data through supercomputing, helping researchersMore efficient, comprehensive, and preciseTo understand the genetic data of endangered animals and develop scientific and effective conservation plans.

The modernization of the harmonious coexistence of man and nature is one of the important features of Chinese path to modernization, and also the meaning of the new form of human civilization. The reporter learned that in the future, both sides will better leverage their respective advantages in technology and scientific research, use cutting-edge information technology to break through research technology bottlenecks, and jointly explore the unlimited possibilities of supercomputing in multiple research and application fields such as the protection of endangered species such as giant pandas, the construction of giant panda national parks, and digital ecology, promoting industrial innovation and development, and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
