Our work is largely with bacterial genomes, and the design tradeoffs trade-offs in nesoni reflect this.
Nesoni focusses on analysing the alignment of reads to a reference genome. We use the [[SHRiMP ]] read aligner, as it is able to detect small insertions and deletions in addition to SNPs.
Nesoni can call a consensus of read alignments, taking care to indicate ambiguity. This can then be used in various ways: to determine the protein level changes resulting from SNPs and indels, to find differences between multiple strains, or to produce n-way comparison data suitable for phylogenetic analysis in [[SplitsTree4]].
Alternatively, the raw counts of bases at each position in the reference seen in two different sequenced strains can compared using Fisher's Exact Test.
