Searching in an Efficiently Stored DNA Text Using a Hardware Solution

Abstract:
In this paper, we describe a storage method that reduces the size of a DNA text file to 25% of its original size. Also outlined is a new algorithm, which can search an input stream of DNA text for multiple DNA sub-strings in a single pass. Although this new algorithm is competitive when compared to the majority of existing string matching algorithms, the intention is to further improve performance by implementing the algorithm as a hardware-only solution.
