Background: Searching for similarities in protein and DNA databases has become a routine procedure in Molecular Biology. The Smith-Waterman algorithm has been available for more t...
Computing large multiple protein sequence alignments using progressive alignment tools such as ClustalW requires several hours on state-of-the-art workstations. ClustalW uses a th...
Emerging DNA sequencing technologies open up exciting new opportunities for genome sequencing by generating read data with a massive throughput. However, produced reads are signif...
—The most pervasive compute operation carried out in almost all bioinformatics applications is pairwise sequence homology detection (or sequence alignment). Due to exponentially ...
