Parallel and Scalable Short-Read Alignment on Multi-Core Clusters Using UPC+.

The growth of next-generation sequencing (NGS) datasets poses a challenge to the alignment of reads to reference genomes in terms of alignment quality and execution speed. Some available aligners have been shown to obtain high quality mappings at the expense of long execution times. Finding fast yet...
