TECHNOLOGY company Lenovo has unveiled the latest version of its Genomics Optimization and Scalability Tool (GOAST), a high-performance computing platform that slashes the time required to process a whole human genome from several days to just 24 minutes.<\/p>\n

The fourth generation of the system, called GOAST 4.0, was introduced this month and is designed to support large-scale genomics projects in health care, drug discovery, agriculture, and national health programs. A single node of the new platform can process up to 22,000 genomes each year \u2014 nearly three times the capacity of earlier versions.<\/p>\n

Genome sequencing has traditionally required between 68 and 150 hours to complete, limiting the pace of research. Lenovo said the new system delivers GPU-level performance using optimized CPUs at costs up to 50 percent lower than traditional solutions.<\/p>\n

The platform is offered through Lenovo\u2019s TruScale model, a pay-as-you-go high-performance computing service aimed at making large-scale genomics projects more accessible to labs and public institutions.<\/p>\n

GOAST is already deployed at research institutes including India\u2019s Council of Scientific and Industrial Research\u2013Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, the University of Delhi, Indonesia\u2019s BRIN, Saudi Arabia\u2019s Novo Genomics, and the Biobank of Thailand. A leading children\u2019s hospital in Australia has also begun using the tool for pediatric genomics research.<\/p>\n

In the Philippines, GOAST is now being installed at a leading medical research institute. Lenovo also sees opportunities for its high-performance computing solutions in other local industries, including banking and weather forecasting.<\/p>\n

Lenovo positions the GOAST platform as part of its broader strategy to integrate artificial intelligence with high-performance computing. The company said combining these technologies is helping create more efficient bioinformatics workflows and accelerating precision health initiatives worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TECHNOLOGY company Lenovo has unveiled the latest version of its Genomics Optimization and Scalability Tool (GOAST), a high-performance…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":259401,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[136131,745,18716,19772,9485,1919,37819,158,6620,447,27796,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-259400","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-136131","9":"tag-computing","10":"tag-cuts","11":"tag-genome","12":"tag-lenovo","13":"tag-minutes","14":"tag-sequencing","15":"tag-technology","16":"tag-time","17":"tag-to","18":"tag-tool","19":"tag-united-states","20":"tag-unitedstates","21":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115277735424227222","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
