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

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
