Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: The recent advances in genomic microarrays design provide the possibility to retrieve hundreds of thousands of significative genetic features from patients at affordable costs. Understanding if non-linear interactions (epistatic relationships) beten these features determine or not the arising of complex common multifactorial genetic diseases is a critical task for human geneticists. The algorithms able to detect such relationships, like the Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (MDR) algorithm, are computationally expensive and their practical utility is very often limited by the amount of time required by the analysis.  presents three hardware-accelerated implementations of the MDR algorithm, tailored for many-core processors, Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGAs and generic GPUs respectively. These implementations provide timing performance improvements of up to two magnitude orders with respect to the software implementation.
