I would like to introduce seqanswers to BFAST. BFAST facilitates the fast and accurate mapping of short reads to reference sequences. Some advantages of BFAST include:
* Speed: enables billions of short reads to be mapped quickly.
* Accuracy: A priori probabilities for mapping reads with defined set of variants.
* An easy way to measurably tune accuracy at the expense of speed.
Specifically, BFAST was designed to facilitate whole-genome resequencing, where mapping billions of short reads with variants is of utmost importance.
We will be presenting BFAST at the ASHG Annual Meeting in Philadelphia.
Information on the talk can be found on the ASHG website [www.ashg.org]
or below. If you are going to be in Philadelphia and you want to talk
about BFAST, give us a shout and we would be happy to meet.
