Aligning hundreds of sequences using progressive alignment tools such as ClustalW requires several hours on state-of-the-art workstations. We present a new approach to compute multiple sequence alignments in far shorter time using reconfigurable hardware. This results in an implementation of ClustalW with significant runtime savings on a standard off-the-shelf FPGA.
使用诸如ClustalW之类的渐进比对工具比对数百个序列,在最先进的工作站上需要花费数小时。我们提出了一种新方法,可使用可重构硬件在短得多的时间内计算多序列比对。这使得在标准的现成FPGA上实现的ClustalW在运行时大幅节省时间。
