Segemehl
Description
segemehl is a software to map short sequencer reads to reference genomes. Unlike other methods, segemehl is able to detect not only mismatches but also insertions and deletions. Furthermore, segemehl is not limited to a specific read length and is able to mapprimer- or polyadenylation contaminated reads correctly. segemehl implements a matching strategy based on enhanced suffix arrays (ESA). Segemehl now supports the SAM format, reads gziped queries to save both disk and memory space and allows bisulfite sequencing mapping and split read mapping.
