Argonne team rewrites SAIGE genetics code for GPUs to analyze Million Veteran Program data
Overview
Argonne National Laboratory researchers rewrote part of the SAIGE genetics package for GPUs, creating SAIGE-GPU, which made a job that would take roughly 481,000 CPU-core hours tractable.
The team applied it to the Million Veteran Program, analyzing 2,068 traits across 635,969 veterans and flagging 13,672 genomic regions linked to one or more conditions.
About 1,600 of those regions surfaced only because nearly a third of participants were not of European ancestry, according to the report in The Next Platform.
