SeqMap¶

Description¶

SeqMap is a tool for mapping large amount of oligonucleotide to the genome. It is designed for finding all the places in a genome where an oligonucleotide could potentially come from. SeqMap can efficiently map as many as dozens of millions of short sequences to a genome of several billions of nucleotides. While doing the mapping, several mutations as well as insertions/deletions of the nucleotide bases in the sequences can be tolerated and furthermore detected. Various input and output formats are supported, as well as many command line options for tuning almost every steps in the mapping process.

Environment Modules¶

Run module spider seqmap to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

Environment Variables¶

HPC_SEQMAP_DIR - installation directory
HPC_SEQMAP_BIN - executable directory
HPC_SEQMAP_DOC - documentation directory
