Abastract： After digitizing DNA double helix by sequencing, computation is the key connecting raw sequences with life science discoveries. As massive data is generate, how to process and analysis as well as storage them in an efficiently manner turns out to be a major challenge. By developing GPU accelerated bioinformatics tools and integrate them into pipelines, BGI researchers now run analysis pipelines in several hours instead of several days. The speed up is generally around 10-50x comparing with traditional counterparts. Also accessing data efficiently is another obstacle to maximize throughput, this could be leveraged by compression technology.
