A survey of whole genome alignment tools and frameworks based on Hadoop's MapReduce

Abstract

Next generation DNA sequencing (NGS) project that aims to give understandings in various genes seems to boosts innovative breakthrough in whole genome issues. Dealing with genomic data requires large-scale data storage and processing. Big data technology could be the most appropriate solution to gaining useful knowledge from data comprehensively. This study discusses about genome tools and framework that implement MapReduce of Hadoop's components in sequence alignment computation. The aim of this discussion is presenting an overview of whole genome alignment software tools and the implementation in big data.
