Our software, [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] is an open-source application. The software is available at http://www.opencb.org, exploits a suffix array to rapidly map a large fraction of the RNA fragments (reads), as well as leverages the accuracy of the Smith-Waterman algorithm to deal with conflictive reads. The aligner is enhanced with a careful strategy to detect splice junctions based on an adaptive division of RNA reads into small segments (or seeds), which are then mapped onto a number of candidate alignment locations, providing crucial information for the successful alignment of the complete reads. The experimental results on a platform with Intel multicore technology report the parallel performance of [Formula: see text], on RNA reads of 100-400 nucleotides, which excels in execution time/sensitivity to state-of-the-art aligners such as TopHat 2+Bowtie 2, MapSplice, and STAR.10aHPC10aNGS10ashort real mapping1 aMartinez, Hector1 aTárraga, Joaquín1 aMedina, Ignacio1 aBarrachina, Sergio1 aCastillo, Maribel1 aDopazo, Joaquin1 aQuintana-Orti, Enrique, S  uhttp://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?tp=&arnumber=701000502076nas a2200241   4500008004100000022001400041245014000055210006900195260001300264300001200277490000700289520129000296100001701586700002301603700002401626700002401650700002401674700001901698700001901717700002001736700002001756856005801776       2012                        eng d  a1362-496200aCellBase, a comprehensive collection of RESTful web services for retrieving relevant biological information from heterogeneous sources.0 aCellBase a comprehensive collection of RESTful web services for   c2012 Jul  aW609-140 v403 aDuring the past years, the advances in high-throughput technologies have produced an unprecedented growth in the number and size of repositories and databases storing relevant biological data. Today, there is more biological information than ever but, unfortunately, the current status of many of these repositories is far from being optimal. Some of the most common problems are that the information is spread out in many small databases; frequently there are different standards among repositories and some databases are no longer supported or they contain too specific and unconnected information. In addition, data size is increasingly becoming an obstacle when accessing or storing biological data. All these issues make very difficult to extract and integrate information from different sources, to analyze experiments or to access and query this information in a programmatic way. CellBase provides a solution to the growing necessity of integration by easing the access to biological data. CellBase implements a set of RESTful web services that query a centralized database containing the most relevant biological data sources. The database is hosted in our servers and is regularly updated.
