Gemi, an automated, fast, and easy-to-use bioinformatics tool with a user-friendly interface to design primers and probes for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Gemi accepts multiple aligned and long DNA and RNA sequences with degenerate nucleotide (non-A/C/G/T bases). Gemi can be used for quantitative, real-time and conventional PCR (qPCR, rt-PCR, etc.), and Sanger sequencing. Gemi can parse large dataset of sequences efficiently. Python source code is available upon request. Milestone: The tool reached about 3000 downloads sine 2012. ...

The first parallel Smith-Waterman algorithm exploiting Intel Xeon Phi clusters to accelerate the alignment of long DNA sequences. This algorithm is written in C++ (with a set of SIMD intrinsic extensions), OpenMP and MPI. The performance evaluation revealed that our algorithm achieves very stable performance, and yields a performance of up to 30.1 GCUPS on a single Xeon Phi and up to 111.4 GCUPS on four Xeon Phis sharing a host.
