BFAST

BFAST is a universal DNA sequence aligner tool developed at UCLA by Nils Homer.[1]

The BFAST Web Server can be used to align short reads to reference sequences in both nucleotide space as well as ABI SOLiD color space.

Utilities include BFAST alignment, conversion between nucleotide and color space, calculating the a priori power of the alignments, as well as a utility to perform Smith Waterman alignment.

Characteristics

BFAST has explicit time and accuracy tradeoff with a prior accuracy estimation, supported by indexing the reference sequences. The tool can handle short reads, DNA insertions, deletions, SNPs, and color errors (ABI SOLiD color space reads).

gollark: They should probably say that, then.
gollark: What would a "conscious AI" actually do which a non-conscious one can't?
gollark: My opinion is that consciousness is a fairly useless term because people don't mean a very specific thing by it.
gollark: Anyway, it seems like these communities overlap a lot for whatever reason.
gollark: Oops, misclicked. Whatever.
