Background: Genomic deletions and duplications are important in the pathogenesis of diseases, such as cancer and mental retardation, and have recently been shown to occur frequent...
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...

—When parallel programs are executed on multiprocessors with private caches, a set of data may be repeatedly used and modified by different threads. Such data sharing can often r...
Background: Yu et al. (BMC Bioinformatics 2007,8: 145+) have recently compared the performance of several methods for the detection of genomic amplification and deletion breakpoin...
Reconfigurable chips are integrated circuits whose internal connections can be programmed by the user to attend a specific application. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and ...
