Bioinformatics Systems, Apparatuses, and Methods for Performing Secondary and/or Tertiary Processing

Abstract: a system, method and apparatus for executing a bioinformatics analysis on genetic sequence data is provided. particularly, a genomics analysis platform for executing a sequence analysis pipeline is provided. the genomics analysis platform includes one or more of a first integrated circuit, where each first integrated circuit forms a central processing unit (cpu) that is responsive to one or more software algorithms that are configured to instruct the cpu to perform a first set of genomic processing steps of the sequence analysis pipeline. additionally, a second integrated circuit is also provided, where each second integrated circuit forming a field programmable gate array (fpga), the fpga being configured by firmware to arrange a set of hardwired digital logic circuits that are interconnected by a plurality of physical interconnects to perform a second set of genomic processing steps of the sequence analysis pipeline, the set of hardwired digital logic circuits of each fpga being arranged as a set of processing engines to perform the second set of genomic processing steps. a shared memory is also provided.
