RazerS 3.5.8 – Fast Read Mapping with Sensitivity Control

RazerS 3.5.8

:: DESCRIPTION

RazerS is a tool for mapping millions of short genomic reads onto a reference genome. It was designed with focus on mapping next-generation sequencing reads onto whole DNA genomes. RazerS searches for matches of reads with a percent identity above a given threshold, whereby it detects matches with mismatches as well as gaps.

RazerS uses a k-mer index of all reads and counts common k-mers of reads and the reference genome in parallelograms. Each parallelogram with a k-mer count above a certain threshold triggers a verification. On success, the genomic subsequence and the read number are stored and written to the output file.
