Hi, I'm looking for an aligner that reports multiple/all hits rather than just a single one. I know mrfast or BWA-short can do this for Illumina data, but is there any aligner that can do this that works on non-Illumina reads? My searches haven't turned up anything.

What type of non-Illumina reads? There are now a few categories out there. mrFAST should work for Ion Torrent. If you are using pacbio, the blasr parameter -bestn limits the number of hits you will get, up to 2^32 - 1.

Good point. I'm interested in 454/Ion Torrent or PacBio reads, so thanks for the info! I didn't realize mrfast could handle Ion Torrent reads, they're pretty specific about calling it an Illumina read aligner on their site. I'll give it a try though!Comment

Have you tried using other aligners with parameters optimized for returning all hits like bowtie2 (-a), bwa mem (-a), novoalign (-r All) and tmap (mapall)? ThanksComment

Oh god, I'm sorry. I kept looking through that manual and never saw that. Sorry!Comment

Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...03-21-2023, 01:49 PM -
Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...03-10-2023, 05:31 AM
