X Abstract

Motivation: The advent of next-generation sequencing technologies has increased the accuracy and quantity of sequence data, opening the door to greater opportunities in genomic research. Results: In this paper, we present GNUMAP (Genomic Nextgeneration Universal MAPper), a program capable of overcoming two major obstacles in the mapping of reads from next-generation sequencing runs. First, we have created an algorithm that probabilistically maps reads to repeat regions in the genome on a quantitative basis. Second, we have developed a probabilistic Needleman-Wunsch algorithm which utilizes _prb.txt and _int.txt files produced in the Solexa/Illumina pipeline to improve the mapping accuracy for lower quality reads and increase the amount of usable data produced in a given experiment. Availability: The source code for the software can be downloaded from http://dna.cs.byu.edu/gnumap. Contact: nathanlclement@gmail.com 10.1093/bioinformatics/btp614
