Parallel algorithm for sensitive sequence recognition from long-read genome data with high error rate by Cheng ZHONG, Hui SUN

“…To solve the problem that existing algorithms were difficult to effectively identify sensitive sequences in genomic data for long-read with high error rate, a recognition algorithm using hybrid CPU and GPU parallel computing, called CGPU-F3SR, was proposed.Firstly, the long-read in genomic data were partitioned into multiple short-read, and the Bloom filtering mechanism was used to avoid repeated calculation of the short-read.Secondly, the k-mer coding strategy was used to extract in parallel the error information of all short-read, the recognition accuracy was promoted by improving the sequence similarity calculation model.Finally, CPU and GPU were used to coordinate and parallel to accelerate the calculation of short-read similarity to improve recognition efficiency.As a result, both two types of sensitive sequences including short tandem repeats and disease related sequences could be identified efficiently and accurately from genome data for long-read with high error rate.The experimental results of recognizing sensitive sequences from genomic data for long-read with length 100～400 kbp each show that, compared with existing parallel algorithm, the average recognition accuracy and precision rate of proposed CPU/GPU parallel algorithm CGPU-F3SR are increased by 7.77% and 43.07% respectively, its average false positive rate is reduced by 7.41%, and its average recognition throughput is increased by 2.44 times.…”

Influence of nominal distortion of Beidou-3 B1C signal on ranging performance by Xue WANG, Yao GUO, Yongnan RAO, Xiaochun LU, Li KANG

“…The B1C signal is selected as a civil navigation signal for the BDS-3 system,which adopts a complex constant envelope modulation in the B1 frequency band.Therefore,it is easy to generate nominal distortion during signal generation.Such nominal distortion of each satellite produces inconsistent ranging deviation and directly degrades the system positioning performance.A complete ranging deviation estimation method was proposed for B1C signals in this paper.Firstly,the S-Curve Bias (SCB) was used to quantitatively analyze the B1C signal ranging deviation,and the standard correlation curve estimation method was proposed to realize the accurate estimation of the code phase deviation at the peak of the correlation curve.Secondly,a algorithm was designed to solve the problem of QMBOC signal mislocking at the platform during receiver tracking.Finally,the actual ranging bias and nature ranging bias of each satellite of Beidou-3 under different correlation intervals and front-end bandwidth of the user receiver were analyzed based on the satellite downlink signals collected from the 40-meter high-gain antenna at the National Time Service Center,and the recommended user receiver parameter range was given.The strategy proposed in this paper can be extended to other MBOC signal ranging error estimation,and the test results can be thought of as a reference to the development of BeiDou-3 receiver.…”
