Notes: Computational biologist at Chicago's Dead Animal Zoo -er, The Field Museum (Home of the world's largest, most complete Tyrannosaurus rex, brought to you by McDonald's and Disney).

Researchers use a combination of morphological (e.g., bone length) and molecular (e.g., DNA sequences) data to reconstruct the possible phylogenetic (evolutionary) relationships between and among their study organisms.

To facilitate their analyses, I was hired to oversee the design and installation of our high performance computer cluster. We use a variety of programs on this system - from alignment programs like clustalW to phylogeny programs like Paup*. Frustratingly, none of the programs with broad applications take advantage of the 64-bit operating systems nor do they take advantage of SMP hardware.
