==== Description: ====
This is bioinformatics software to align short reads produced by a short read
genome sequencer to a reference genome. It can use a Cell Broadband Engine to
accellerate alignments if available, for example on a PlayStation 3 running
GNU/Linux.

A sequencing run might produce several million short reads. A typical next
step is to align all of these reads to a reference genome, to see what
differences exist: Single Nucleotide Pair changes, insertions, and deletions.

Myrialign performs brute force Smith-Waterman alignment using a variant on
the "bitap" algorithm that aligns several thousand reads in parallel. It uses
bit-parallelism, multiple processors, and Cell SPUs if available.

Unlike other reference genome alignment software, heuristics and hashtable
lookups are not used. Myrialign will find alignments with any number of errors
up to a user specified cutoff. The emphasis is on doing full Smith-Waterman
alignment fast.
