ITHACA, New York, Nov. 1 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
A hardware accelerator initially developed for artificial intelligence operations successfully speeds up the alignment of protein and DNA molecules, making the process up to 10 times faster than state-of-the-art methods.
This approach can make it more efficient to align protein sequences and DNA for genome assembly, which is a fundamental problem in computational biology.
