Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: New high-throughput sequencing technologies have promoted the production of short reads with dramatically low unit cost. The explosive growth of short read datasets poses a challenge to the mapping of short reads to reference genomes, such as the human genome, in terms of alignment quality and execution speed. RESULTS: We present CUSHAW, a parallelized short read aligner based on the compute unified...
