Pairwise alignment of nucleotide sequences using maximal exact matches

Abstract Background Pairwise alignment of short DNA sequences with affine-gap scoring is a common processing step performed in a range of bioinformatics analyses. Dynamic programming (i.e. Smith-Waterman algorithm) is widely used for this purpose. Despite using data level parallelisation, pairwise a...
