GPU Accelerated Smith-Waterman
We present a novel hardware implementation of the double affine Smith-Waterman (DASW) algorithm, which uses dynamic programming to compare and align genomic sequences such as DNA and proteins. We implement DASW on a commodity graphics card, taking advantage of the general purpose programmability of the graphics processing unit to leverage its cheap parallel processing power. The results demonst...
متن کاملOptimizing Smith-Waterman Alignments
Mutual correlation between segments of DNA or protein sequences can be detected by Smith-Waterman local alignments. We present a statistical analysis of alignment of such sequences, based on a recent scaling theory. A new fidelity measure is introduced and shown to capture the significance of the local alignment, i.e., the extent to which the correlated subsequences are correctly identified. It...
متن کاملA Smith-Waterman Algorithm Accelerator Based on Residue Number System
One of the biggest challenges confronting the bioinformatics community is fast and accurate sequence alignment. The Smith-Waterman algorithm (SWA) is one of the several algorithms used in addressing some of these challenges. Though very sensitive in doing sequence alignment, SWA is not used in real life applications due to the computational cost associated with the software implementation. Heur...
متن کاملA Smith-Waterman Systolic Cell
With an aim to understand the information encoded by DNA sequences, databases containing large amount of DNA sequence information are frequently compared and searched for matching or near-matching patterns. This kind of similarity calculation is known as sequence alignment. To date, the most popular algorithms for this operation are heuristic approaches such as BLAST and FASTA which give high s...
متن کاملA Physician in Spite of Himself
This text, published in late 2009, presents an excellent guide to herbal pharmacotherapies and is well laid out. Evidence is graded from A (Strong scientific), B (good), C (unclear or conflicting), through to D (fair negative). A series of chapters on relevant organs and diseases including Parkinson's disease, insomnia, and pain, are very comprehensive. Several diseases had some commendable and...
