BALSA: integrated secondary analysis for whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing, accelerated by GPU

This paper reports an integrated solution, called BALSA, for the secondary analysis of next generation sequencing data; it exploits the computational power of GPU and an intricate memory management to give a fast and accurate analysis. From raw reads to variants (including SNPs and Indels), BALSA, u...
