Abstract: Alignment is one of the basic operations in molecular biology to compare sequences. The most widely used methods for multiple sequence alignment include scalar-product based alignment of groups of sequences. We show that scalar-product based alignment algorithms can be significantly speeded up by general-purpose computing on a modern commonly available graphics card. Thus the huge computational power of graphics cards can be exploited to develop high performance solutions for multiple sequence alignment.
