In the modern era of science, bioinformatics play a critical role in unraveling the potential genetic causes of various diseases. Two of the most important areas of bioinformatics today, sequence analysis and genome annotation, are essential for the success of identifying the genes responsible for different diseases. These two emerging areas utilize highly intensive mathematical calculations in order to carry out the processes. Supercomputers facilitate such calculations in an efficient and time-saving manner generating high-throughput images. Thus, this chapter thoroughly discusses the applications of supercomputers in the areas of sequence analysis and genome annotation. This chapter also showcases sophisticated software and algorithms utilized by the two mentioned areas of bioinformatics.

Zebrafish is widely used to understand neural development and model various neurodegenerative diseases. Zebrafish embryos are optically transparent, have a short development period, and can be kept alive in microplates for days, making them amenable to high-throughput microscopic imaging. As a result of high-throughput experiments, a large number of images can be generated in a single experiment, posing a challenge to researchers to analyze them efficiently and quantitatively. In this work, we develop an image processing focused on detecting and quantifying pigments in zebrafish embryos. The algorithm automatically detects a region of interest (ROI) enclosing an area around the pigments and then segment the pigments for quantification. In this process, the algorithm identifies the head and torso at first, and then finds the boundaries corresponding to the back and abdomen by taking advantage of a priori information about the anatomy of zebrafish embryos. The method is robust in terms that it can detect and quantify pigments even when the embryos have different orientations and curvatures. We used real data to demonstrate the performance of the method to extract phenotypic information from zebrafish embryo images and compared its results with manual analysis for verification.
