Disease gene bioinformatics, string algorithms and supercomputer technologies.

Disease gene linkage newsgroup:

I am a graduate student calling with several questions that pertain to 
disease gene
bioinformatics, string algorithms and supercomputer technologies.

1. Given the DNA sequence of a human disease gene, what computationally 
intensive bioinformatic analysis of this disease gene would require the 
application 
of a supercomputer?

2. What computational molecular biology algorithms are required that would 
need
a supercomputer in order to search for novel human disease genes?

3. Numerous complete genomes have been sequenced.  What comparative 
genomics algorithms should be executed using a supercomputer in order to 
search
for and/or characterize human disease genes?

Thanks in advance,
