RESUMO

This article presents an Ferragina-Manzini index (FM-index) based paired-end short-read mapping hardware accelerator. Four techniques are proposed to significantly reduce the number of memory accesses and operations to improve the throughput. First, an interleaved data structure is proposed to reduce the processing time by 51.8% by leveraging the data locality. Second, the boundaries of possible mapping location candidates can be retrieved within only one memory access by constructing a lookup table along with the FM-index. This reduces the number of DRAM accesses by 60% with only a 64 MB memory overhead. Third, an additional step is added to skip the time-consuming repetitive location candidates filtering conditionally, avoiding unnecessary operations. Lastly, an early termination method is proposed to terminate the mapping process if any location candidate with a high enough alignment score is detected, greatly decreasing the execution time. Overall, the computation time is reduced by 92.6% with only a 2% memory overhead in DRAM. The proposed methods are realized on a Xilinx Alveo U250 FPGA. The proposed FPGA accelerator processes 1,085,812,766 short-reads from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) dataset within 35.4 minutes at 200 MHz. It achieves a 1.7-to-18.6× higher throughput and the highest 99.3% accuracy by exploiting the paired-end short-read mapping, compared to state-of-the-art FPGA-based designs.

RESUMO

Aflatoxins, especially aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), are the most prevalent mycotoxins in nature. They contaminate various crops and cause global food and feed safety concerns. Therefore, a simple, rapid, sensitive, and specific AFB1 detection tool is urgently needed. Aptamers generated by SELEX technology can specifically bind the desired targets with high affinity. The broad range of targets expands the scope of applications for aptamers. We used an AFB1-immobilized magnetic nanoparticle for SELEX to select AFB1-specific aptamers. One aptamer, fl-2CS1, revealed a dissociation constant (Kd = 2.5 µM) with AFB1 determined by isothermal titration calorimetry. Furthermore, no interaction was shown with other toxins (AFB2, AFG1, AFG2, OTA, and FB1). According to structural prediction and analysis, we identified a short version of the AFB1-specific aptamer, fl-2CS1/core, with a minimum length of 39-mer used in the AFB1-aptasensor system by real-time qPCR. The aptasensor showed a broad range of detection from 50 ppt to 50 ppb with an accuracy of 90% in the spiked peanut extract samples. With the application of the AFB1-aptasensor we have constructed, a wide range detection tool with high accuracy might be developed as a point-of-care testing tool in agriculture.
