— The Smith-Waterman algorithm is a dynamic programming method for determining optimal local alignments between nucleotide or protein sequences. However, it suffers from quadrati...
Background: Large-scale sequence comparison is a powerful tool for biological inference in modern molecular biology. Comparing new sequences to those in annotated databases is a u...
We demonstrate how Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) may be used to address the computing challenges associated with assembling genome sequences from recent ultra-high-through...
