Hi, Do you know of any recent reviews of NGS aligners? I can only find the classic review http://bib.oxfordjournals.org/content/11/5/473.abstract, which is rather old.

The Assemblathon 2 paper at arXiv.org (here) does a good job of evaluating performance of various assemblers.Comment

Thanks all, I'm more interested in finding a review of short read aligner methods rather than performance. I'm a bit surprised such a review is not readily available in recent times. http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.5952 is a link for RNA-seq survey for anyone interested.Comment

Aligners, not assemblers? Sorry, I responded before the second cup of coffee kicked in. Usually, the most current alignment publications include a comparison to earlier software. Some of the most recent are LAST (available here), Subread (here), and BWA-MEM (here). All contain comparative metrics. You can also run your own comparisons of some programs at this website.Comment

While the performance of NGS mappers keeps improving, the methodologies have not been changed much in the past few years. The biggest shift is that we more often adopt/adapt old-school algorithms developed for Sanger reads. With a few exceptions (e.g. GEM), most recent mappers use the Blast-like algorithm. We still see improvements, IMHO, partly because we are better at implementation, and partly because we are comparing new 100bp algorithms to old 36bp algorithms applied on 100bp+ reads.Comment

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM
