FET: Small: AlignMEM: Fast and Efficient DNA Sequence Alignment in Non-Volatile Magnetic R — NSF Award to Arizona State University

The state-of-the-art DNA sequencing technologies could generate Terabytes of DNA sequence data in a single run, and their throughput is expected to increase 3-5 times each year in the coming years. In order to apply these big DNA-data into follow-up complex disease diagnostics/prognostics, such as cancer risk assessmen

AbstractThe state-of-the-art DNA sequencing technologies could generate Terabytes of DNA sequence data in a single run, and their throughput is expected to increase 3-5 times each year in the coming years. In order to apply these big DNA-data into follow-up complex disease diagnostics/prognostics, such as cancer risk assessment, tailor patient treatment, and prenatal testing, they must be first aligned to a 3.2-billion-length human reference genome. However, the existing software tools for this purpose
