—The most pervasive compute operation carried out in almost all bioinformatics applications is pairwise sequence homology detection (or sequence alignment). Due to exponentially ...
We propose a new parallelization scheme for the hmmsearch function of the HMMER software, in order to target FPGA technology. hmmsearch is a very compute intensive software for bio...
The Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm is one of the widely used algorithms for sequence alignment in computational biology. With the growing size of the sequence database, there is alw...
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...
Abstract— Comparing genetic sequences is a well-known problem in bioinformatics. Newly determined sequences are being compared to known sequences stored in databases in order to ...
