Large Scale Explorative Oligonucleotide Probe Selection for Thousands of Genetic Groups on a Computing Grid: Application to Phylogenetic Probe Design Using a Curated Small Subunit Ribosomal RNA Gene Database

Table 1

A comparison of the performance of the alignment method used in our software with that used in PhylArray [29], using 100 cores.

Aligned group	Number of sequences	Number of subgroups	Alignment time (seconds)		Speedup
			PhylArray	PhylGrid 2.0
Vibrio	1,174	37	2,542	1,247	2.03
Bacillus	3,947	58	12,586	3,130	4.02
