BLAMM: BLAS-based algorithm for finding position weight matrix occurrences in DNA sequences on CPUs and GPUs

Abstract Background The identification of all matches of a large set of position weight matrices (PWMs) in long DNA sequences requires significant computational resources for which a number of efficient yet complex algorithms have been proposed. Results We propose BLAMM, a simple and efficient tool...
