Discovering variation among high-throughput sequenced genomes relies on efficient and effective mapping of sequence reads. The speed, sensitivity and accuracy of read mapping are crucial to determining the full spectrum of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) as well as structural variants (SVs) in the donor genomes analyzed.
We present drFAST, a read mapper designed for di-base encoded 'color-space' sequences generated with the AB SOLiD platform. drFAST is specially designed for better delineation of structural variants, including segmental duplications, and is able to return all possible map locations and underlying sequence variation of short reads within a user-specified distance threshold. We show that drFAST is more sensitive in comparison to all commonly used aligners such as Bowtie, BFAST and SHRiMP. drFAST is also faster than both BFAST and SHRiMP and achieves a mapping speed comparable to Bowtie.
The source code for drFAST is available at http://drfast.sourceforge.net
发现高通量测序基因组之间的差异依赖于序列读取的高效和有效映射。读取映射的速度、灵敏度和准确性对于确定供体基因组中全谱单核苷酸变体 (SNV) 以及结构变体 (SV) 至关重要。
我们提出了 drFAST,这是一种针对 AB SOLiD 平台生成的双碱基编码“颜色空间”序列的读取映射器。drFAST 专门设计用于更好地区分结构变体,包括片段重复,并能够返回用户指定距离阈值内短读取的所有可能的映射位置和潜在的序列变异。我们表明,与所有常用的比对器(如 Bowtie、BFAST 和 SHRiMP)相比,drFAST 更敏感。drFAST 也比 BFAST 和 SHRiMP 快,并且达到了与 Bowtie 相当的映射速度。
