Summary: WHAM is a high-throughput sequence alignment tool.

"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.

Description

It aligns short DNA sequences (reads) to the whole human genome at a rate of over 1500 million 60bps reads per hour, which is one to two orders of magnitudes faster than the leading state-of-the-art techniques.

Features

  • Supports paired-end reads
  • Supports up to 5 mismatches
  • Supports up to 3 gaps
  • Supports quality scores for filtering invalid alignments, and sorting valid alignments
  • Supports multi-threading
  • Supports rich reporting modes
  • Supports SAM format output

Curious about the name WHAM – it stands for Wisconsin’s High-throughput Alignment Method.
