BGREAT

De bruijn graph read alignment tool

Keywords: Short reads - Genome assembling

Functional Description

Mapping genomic extracts (reads) on genomic references is a central and necessary task in most genomic studies. But reference sequences are mainly extracted from assembly graphs through an inexact process that both creates chimeras and losses biological pieces of information. This motivates the need of mapping sequences on references represented by graphs. BGREAT is conceived to map reads on de Bruijn graph, a widely used graph in genome assembly.
