Which software is proper for pacbio reads alignment to reference genome? I see bwa mem is ok, and there is blasr, but slow. How about MHAP? But from the manual it says the output is blasr m4 format, not sam/bam. Why that? The MHAP paper show better alignment performance to blasr, but it cannot generate sam?

Blasr is the recommended option, but as you noted, can be slow. Take a look at some of these tips to speed it up a little bit for nearly identical sequences:Originally posted by Rui Guo View Post
mhap is another option, but as you noted, output is not in SAM format.
The third option would be 'daligner' which is pretty fast, but also uses it's own output format (*.las) which is not what you asked for, but one of our preferred methods for aligning long reads back to a reference. See Gene Meyer's Dazzlerblog for details:

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
