Abstract As DNA sequencing outpaces improvements in computer speed there is a critical need to accelerate tasks like alignment and SNP calling. Crossbow is a cloud-computing software tool that combines the aligner Bowtie and the SNP caller SOAPsnp. Executing in parallel using Hadoop Crossbow analyzes data comprising 38-fold coverage of the human genome in three hours using a 320-CPU cluster rented from a cloud computing service for about 85. Crossbow is available from http bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net crossbow . Rationale Improvements in DNA sequencing have made sequencing an increasingly valuable tool for the study of human variation and disease. Technologies from Illumina San Diego CA USA Applied Biosystems Foster City CA USA and 454 Life Sciences Branford CT USA have been used to detect genomic variations among humans 1-5 to profile methylation patterns 6 to map
