mrFAST

mrFAST & mrsFAST are 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).

Planned Features:

• Multithreading
