160-fold acceleration of the Smith-Waterman algorithm using a field programmable gate array (FPGA)
Background: To infer homology and subsequently gene function, the Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm is used to find the optimal local alignment between two sequences. When searching s...

Mining prokaryotic genomes for unknown amino acids: a stop-codon-based approach
Background: Selenocysteine and pyrrolysine are the 21st and 22nd amino acids, which are genetically encoded by stop codons. Since a number of microbial genomes have been completel...
