RBLOSUM performs better than CorBLOSUM with lesser error per query.

Objective: BLOSUM matrices serve as standard matrices for many protein sequence alignment programs. BLOSUM matrices have been constructed using BLOCKS version with 27,102 BLOCKS, whereas the latest updated version has 6,739,916 BLOCKS. We read with interest the research article by Hess et al.

Compression of Large genomic datasets using COMRAD on Parallel Computing Platform.

Unlabelled: The big data storage is a challenge in a post genome era. Hence, there is a need for high performance computing solutions for managing large genomic data. Therefore, it is of interest to describe a parallel-computing approach using message-passing library for distributing the different compression stages in clusters.
