Parallelization of Needleman-Wunsch Algorithm Based on Software Pipelining

Multiple Pairwise Sequences Alignments with Needleman-Wunsch Algorithm on GPU

Pairwise sequence alignment is the method to find the best matching piece for two sequences. It can be either local which return the most similar subsequence or global which return the alignment of whole sequence. Nowadays, the number of genetic sequences increases exponentially so that it becomes a challenge to analyze and understand those data. The cutting-edge parallel architectures provide ...

Tree Alignment Based on Needleman-Wunsch Algorithm for Sensor Selection in Smart Homes

Activity recognition in smart homes aims to infer the particular activities of the inhabitant, the aim being to monitor their activities and identify any abnormalities, especially for those living alone. In order for a smart home to support its inhabitant, the recognition system needs to learn from observations acquired through sensors. One question that often arises is which sensors are useful...

Paralellization of Needleman-Wunsch String Alignment Method

The identification of homologies between protein sequences is a central problem in molecular biology and several algorithms have been proposed for accomplishing this task. The Needleman-Wunsch Algorithm and its close variant, the SmithWaterman dynamic programming methods, solve the problem exactly in quadratic time and space. However, due to the massive amount of data involved in sequence-to-da...
