ShoRAH is a software package that allows for inference about the structure of a population from a set of short sequence reads as obtained from ultra-deep sequencing of a mixed sample. The package contains programs that support mapping of reads to a reference genome, correcting sequencing errors by locally clustering reads in small windows of the alignment, reconstructing a minimal set of global haplotypes that explain the reads, and estimating the frequencies of the inferred haplotypes.
SHORE is a mapping and analysis pipeline for short DNA sequences produced on Illumina Genome Analyzer and Hiseq 2000, Life Technology SOLiD, 454 Genome Sequencer FLX and PacBio RS platforms. It is designed for projects whose analysis strategy involves mapping of reads to a reference sequence. This reference sequence does not necessarily have to be from the same species, since weighted and gapped alignments allow for accuracy even in diverged regions. SHORE provides various prediction algorithms for genomic polymorphisms, i.e. SNPs, structural variants (indels, CNVs, unsequenced regions), SNPs and SV prediction in heterozygous or pooled samples, as well as peak detection for ChIP-Seq analysis and quantitative analysis of mRNA-Seq and sRNA-Seq.
GenomeMapper is a short read mapping tool designed for accurate read alignments. It quickly aligns millions of reads either with ungapped or gapped alignments. It can be used to align against multiple genomes simulanteously or against a single reference. If you are unsure which one is the appropriate GenomeMapper, you might want to use the latter.
ngsShoRT algorithms are designed to pre-process Single Read (SR) or Paired-end (PE)/Mate-pair (MP) reads in FastQ format or Illumina’s native QSEQ format (with compressed file support). It privides parallel processing by multi-threading to deal with large volume of data and reduce running time. Another unique feature of ngsShoRT is that it was designed to handle PE/MP reads generically using paired-end specific modules.
