PC Clusters Approach on DNA Sequences Indexing with Suffix Trees
Line
CHENG Lok Lam

 

Abstract

DNA sequences are large data which requires much computational power for processing and searching them. One of the best method for indexing sequences is suffix tree data structure. However, suffix tree is rather large data structure which required much storage in computer. In the situation of DNA sequences, the suffix tree cannot fit into the main memory of a computer. So, secondary storage is used but reduces the performance due to IO on hard-disks. Therefore, we propose 3 algorithms for suffix tree indexing in PC clusters such that it can improve the DNA searching time and tree building time. In the talk, I will introduce the some background information and discuss the algorithms for DNA indexing.
