Abstract
We have developed two programs that speed up common bioinformatic applications by spreading them across a UNIX cluster.(1) BLAST.pm, a new module for the 'MOLLUSC' package. (2) WRAPID, a simple tool for parallelizing large numbers of small instances of programs such as BLAST, FASTA and CLUSTALW. The packages were developed in Perl on a 20-node Linux cluster and are provided together with a configuration script and documentation. They can be freely downloaded from http://wolfe.gen.tcd.ie/wrapper.
