G-ALN is a GPU implementation of BWA-aln and its indexing algorithm that produces byte-identical results while significantly improving performance. By parallelizing read searches on GPUs and dynamically sharing long-running searches with CPUs, G-ALN achieves ~32× faster indexing and ~6× faster alignment than BWA, while also improving energy efficiency. This provides a practical way to accelerate existing ancient DNA analysis workflows without changing alignment results. More information at https://github.com/bilalbioinfo/galn
