mrFAST: micro-read Fast Alignment Search Tool.

mrFAST is designed to map short reads generated with the Illumina platform to reference genome assemblies; in a fast and memory-efficient manner.

  • Currently supported features: ** Output in SAM format ** Indels up to 8 bp (4 bp deletions and 4 bp insertions) ** Paired-end mapping ***Discordant option to generate mapping file ready for VariationHunter to detect structural variants. ** One end anchored (OEA) map locations for novel sequence insertion detection with NovelSeq ** Matepair library mapping (long inserts with RF orientation).
  • Implemented, not-yet-released features: ** Multithreading
