  • Patent number: 10642793
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for compressing genome sequences readers using GPU processing unit. The method comprising the steps of: identifying position of each given genome reader characters string in the sequence of a reference genome, determining alignment of each reader string within the reference genome, comparing each reader characters string to corresponding reference genome sequence based on determined alignment, filtering characters in each reader by GPU processor by eliminating similar characters and extracting only characters differences in association to their position in the genome sequence and recording filtered data of each reader in association to its alignment in genome reference at the genome compressed database.
