Why it matters in GWAS

GWAS and sequencing workflows commonly launch many parallel jobs (by chromosome, trait, or cohort). Slurm manages queueing, resource requests, runtime limits, and reproducible batch execution at scale.

Example usage

"We used Slurm job arrays to run association tests for all phenotypes with consistent CPU and memory settings."

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
