Description-en: mapping single-molecule sequencing reads
Basic local alignment with successive refinement (BLASR) is a method
for mapping single-molecule sequencing reads against a reference genome.
Such reads are thousands of bases long, with divergence between them
and the genome being dominated by insertion and deletion error.
