Description-en: Scalable Nucleotide Alignment Program
SNAP is a new sequence aligner that is 3-20x faster and just as accurate as
existing tools like BWA-mem, Bowtie2 and Novoalign. It runs on commodity x86
processors, and supports a rich error model that lets it cheaply match reads
with more differences from the reference than other tools. This gives SNAP up
to 2x lower error rates than existing tools (in some cases) and lets it match
larger mutations that they may miss. SNAP also natively reads BAM, FASTQ, or
gzipped FASTQ, and natively writes SAM or BAM, with built-in sorting,
duplicate marking, and BAM indexing.
