In response to a map task distributed by a job tracker, a map task tracker executes the map task to generate a map output including version information. The map task tracker stores the generated map outputs. The map task tracker informs the job tracker of related information of the map output. In response to a reduce task distributed by the job tracker, the reduce task tracker acquires the map outputs for key names including given version information from the map task trackers, wherein the acquired map outputs include the map outputs with the given version information and historical map outputs with the version information prior to the given version information. The reduce task tracker executes the reduce task on the acquired map outputs.

Method and system for operating a data center by reducing an amount of data to be processed

A method for transmission of map/reduce data in a data center having a storage network (SAN), the data center including multiple servers deployed with a job tracker, map task trackers and reduce task trackers, the method comprising: in response to receiving a map task allocated by the job tracker, a map task tracker performing the map task and generating map task outputs; the map task tracker writing the map task outputs to the storage network; and in response to receiving a reduce task allocated by the job tracker, a reduce task tracker reading the map tasks outputs from the storage network.

The present invention provides an improved nucleic acid hybridization process employing a modified oligonucleotide probe comprising naturally occurring nucleotide bases. At least one nucleotide in the modified oligonucleotide is artificially mismatched relative to the control nucleic acid in addition to any mismatches arising from a variant nucleic acid target containing a sequence variation. The artificial mismatch and the sequence variation positions are separated from one another on the oligonucleotide by six to nine nucleotide positions.

Hybridization methods using natural base mismatches

The invention provides a method for identification of alleles. In this method, genomic DNA is used as target. Multiple allele-specific PCR amplification are carried out with a group of primers comprising one or more allele-specific primers for a target gene, a universal primer, and a common primer; and a DNA polymerase without 5' to 3&#x2032; exonuclease activity. The PCR products are hybridized with tag probes immobilized on a DNA chip. Results are determined based on the signal intensity and the position of the probe immobilized on the array. Each allele-specific primer comprises a unique tag sequence at the 5&#x2032; end. Each tag probe immobilized on the DNA chip comprises a sequence identical to its corresponding tag sequence; and each tag probe hybridizes only with the complementary sequence in the PCR amplification product.
