X-Mapper: fast and accurate sequence alignment via gapped x-mers
Sequence alignment is foundational to many bioinformatic analyses. Many aligners start by splitting sequences into contiguous, fixed-length seeds, called k-mers. Alignment is faster with longer, unique seeds, but more accurate with shorter seeds avoiding mutations. Here, we introduce X-Mapper, aimin...
