Smalt

Description

smalt website  

SMALT aligns DNA sequencing reads with a reference genome.

   Supported Sequencing Platforms
   ==============================
   Reads from a wide range of sequencing platforms can be processed, for
   example Illumina, Roche-454, Ion Torrent, PacBio or ABI-Sanger. Paired reads
   are supported. There is no support for SOLiD reads.

   Strategy
   ========
   The software employs a hash index of short words of up to 20 nucleotides
   sampled at equidistant steps along the reference genome. For each sequencing
   read, potentially matching segments in the reference genome are identified
   from seed matches in the index and subsequently aligned with the read using
   dynamic programming.
