	<title><![CDATA[FSA: Fast Statistical Alignment]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>FSA is a probabilistic multiple sequence alignment algorithm which uses a "distance-based" approach to aligning homologous protein, RNA or DNA sequences. Much as distance-based phylogenetic reconstruction methods like Neighbor-Joining build a phylogeny using only pairwise divergence estimates, FSA builds a multiple alignment using only pairwise estimations of homology. This is made possible by the sequence annealing technique for constructing a multiple alignment from pairwise comparisons, developed by Ariel Schwartz in&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2007/EECS-2007-39.html">"Posterior Decoding Methods for Optimization and Control of Multiple Alignments</a><span>."</span></p>
<p>FSA brings the high accuracies previously available only for small-scale analyses of proteins or RNAs to large-scale problems such as aligning thousands of sequences or megabase-long sequences. FSA introduces several novel methods for constructing better alignments:</p>
<ul>
<li>FSA uses machine-learning techniques to estimate gap and substitution parameters on the fly for each set of input sequences. This "query-specific learning" alignment method makes FSA very robust: it can produce superior alignments of sets of homologous sequences which are subject to very different evolutionary constraints.</li>
<li>FSA is capable of aligning hundreds or even thousands of sequences using a randomized inference algorithm to reduce the computational cost of multiple alignment. This randomized inference can be over ten times faster than a direct approach with little loss of accuracy.</li>
<li>FSA can quickly align very long sequences using the "anchor annealing" technique for resolving anchors and projecting them with transitive anchoring. It then stitches together the alignment between the anchors using the methods described above.</li>
<li>The included GUI, MAD (Multiple Alignment Display), can display the intermediate alignments produced by FSA, where each character is colored according to the probability that it is correctly aligned (see the picture and&nbsp;<a href="http://fsa.sourceforge.net/images/Suchard_SIV.fsa.mov">movie</a>&nbsp;at the top of the page).</li>
</ul>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>MMseqs2 (Many-against-Many sequence searching) is a software suite to search and cluster huge protein sequence sets. MMseqs2 is open source GPL-licensed software implemented in C++ for Linux, MacOS, and (as beta version, via cygwin) Windows. The software is designed to run on multiple cores and servers and exhibits very good scalability. MMseqs2 can run 10000 times faster than BLAST. At 100 times its speed it achieves almost the same sensitivity. It can perform profile searches with the same sensitivity as PSI-BLAST at over 400 times its speed.</p>
<p>The MMseqs2 user guide is available as&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/soedinglab/mmseqs2/wiki">Github Wiki</a>&nbsp;or as&nbsp;<a href="https://mmseqs.com/latest/userguide.pdf">PDF file</a>&nbsp;(Thanks to&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/jgm/pandoc">pandoc</a>!)</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Shouji: a fast and efficient pre-alignment filter for sequence alignment]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>The ability to generate massive amounts of sequencing data continues to overwhelm the processing capacity of existing algorithms and compute infrastructures. In this work, we explore the use of hardware/software co-design and hardware acceleration to significantly reduce the execution time of short sequence alignment, a crucial step in analyzing sequenced genomes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<img src="https://github.com/BilkentCompGen/Shoji/raw/master/Figure1-GitHub.png" alt="image" style="border: 0px;"></p>
<p>We introduce Shouji, a highly parallel and accurate pre-alignment filter that remarkably reduces the need for computationally-costly dynamic programming algorithms. The first key idea of our proposed pre-alignment filter is to provide high filtering accuracy by correctly detecting all common subsequences shared between two given sequences. The second key idea is to design a hardware accelerator design that adopts modern FPGA (field-programmable gate array) architectures to further boost the performance of our algorithm.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>UniAligner (formerly, TandemAligner) is the first parameter-free algorithm for sequence alignment that introduces a sequence-dependent alignment scoring that automatically changes for any pair of compared sequences. Classical alignment approaches, such as the Smith-Waterman algorithm, that work well for most sequences, fail to construct biologically adequate alignments of extra-long tandem repeats (ETRs), such as human centromeres and immunoglobulin loci. This limitation was overlooked in the previous studies since the sequences of the centromeres and other ETRs across multiple genomes only became available recently.</p>
