Description

RazerS was designed with focus on mapping next-generation sequencing reads against whole DNA genomes.

RazerS searches for matches of reads with a percent identity above a given threshold, whereby it detects matches with mismatches as well as gaps.

RazerS uses a k-mer index of all reads and counts common k-mers of reads and the reference genome in parallelograms. Each parallelogram with a k-mer count above a certain threshold triggers a verification.

On success, the  genomic subsequence and the read number are stored and written to the output file.

Supported platforms are: Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and Linux 64.
