SNAP

Description

snap website  

SNAP is a program that is part of a gene sequencing pipeline. It takes data from gene sequencing hardware that consists of short chunks of DNA (typically 70-300 base pairs long) called reads and determines where, how well and how unambiguously they match to a given reference genome. This is a computationally challenging problem because reference genomes are big (the human genome is over 3 billion base pairs long) and are often highly repetitive.
