Novoalign
Description
{{{name}}} website
Novoalign is a highly accurate program for mapping next-generation
sequencing reads to a reference database. It is an aligner for single-ended
and paired-end reads from the Illumina Genome Analyser. Novoalign finds
global optimum alignments using full Needleman-Wunsch algorithm with affine
gap penalties.
Limited functionality and single-threaded performance are available without a paid license. Novoalign must only be used for academic/non-profit research and the results of the analyses must published in peer-reviewed journals as requested by the software manufacturer in Novoalign FAQ.
