Parallel Programming in Bioinformatics: Some Interesting Approaches

摘要

Bioinformatics allows and encourages the application of many different parallel programming approaches. This special issue brings together high-quality state-of-the-art contributions about parallel programming in bioinformatics, from some interesting points of view or perspectives. The special issue collects considerably extended and improved versions of the best papers, accepted and presented in PBio 2017 (5th International Workshop on Parallelism in Bioinformatics, and part of ICA3PP 2017). The domains and topics covered in these 2 papers are timely and important, and the authors have done an excellent job of presenting the material.
