| Important features | 1. CloudBurst is a new parallel read-mapping algorithm optimized for mapping sequence data to the human genome and other reference genomes, for use in a variety of biological analysis including SNP discovery, genotyping, and personal genomics.
2. CloudBurst's running time scales linearly with the number of reads mapped, and with near linear speed-up as the number of processors increases.
3. By using 24 core processor or large cloud compute 96 cores configured systems, it can reduce the running time of mapping human genomes.
4. it is as open-sourcesoftware, serves as a model for parallelizing other bioinformatics algorithms with MapReduce. |
