In this series of posts, I'm going to give the surface of bioinformatics a good scratching, written from the perspective of a non-biologist. The main focus is to implement many of the algorithms we'll encounter in this area, in parallel, or more specifically in CUDA.NET. During the journey I'll add code snipets where possible either in a specific language or in pseudocode. Pop over to Google Code to grab the latest version of the source which much of the research in this area has led to.
