Sequence alignment Tools

Bwa-mem2 is the next version of the bwa-mem algorithm in bwa. It produces alignment identical to bwa and is ~1.3-3.1x faster depending on the use-case, dataset and the running machine.

Ultrafast universal RNA-seq data aligner.

ACTC (Align subreads to CCS reads) is developed by Pacific Biosciences and provides a one-click solution for aligning individual subreads to the corresponding circular consensus (CCS) reads — useful in workflows involving HiFi/CCS read analysis from PacBio sequencing.

AlignStats produces various alignment, whole genome coverage, and capture coverage metrics for sequence alignment files in SAM, BAM, and CRAM format. This program is designed to serve reporting and quality control purposes in sequencing analysis pipelines at the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center (BCM-HGSC).
