Excited to share this preprint that describes my latest work on using GPUs to accelerate processing of RNA-seq data.
The title says it all: "RNA-seq analysis in seconds using GPUs" now on biorxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... and github github.com/pachterlab/k...
Figure 1 shows they key result
ok, that figure looked fine in the preview but was transparent, here's a better version

For a large dataset (295M reads) the GPU version took 50 seconds. Just running zcat on the files takes 10 minutes! Decompression and parsing FASTQ is a major bottleneck . Instead of using kseq we moved this work parsing to the GPU which delivers amazing throughput.
