BFAST 0.6.0 represents a major release.
BFAST is a fast and accurate short read aligner. Specifically, BFAST was designed to facilitate whole-genome re-sequencing, where mapping billions of short reads with variants is of utmost importance.
We have changed a lot in this version (read carefully below) and we welcome any feedback (positive or negative). Send help or questions to
[email protected]
Summary of changes:
- an index can be efficiently split to fit in any amount of memory (RAM).
- local alignment now up to 10 times faster using seed-constrained local
alignment.
- newly designed and unified command line interface.
- ability to automate and parallelize large alignments on a
cluster.
- supports a pipe-and-filter model
Hopefully, you find BFAST easier to use as well as faster than ever!
