We developed VAT to solve a specific frustration: the fragmentation of alignment tools. Usually, you need one tool for short reads, another for long reads, and different workflows for homology search or WGA. VAT generalizes seeding and indexing strategies into a single architecture that handles all of these.
We have tested it on standard datasets, but I know the community has the wildest, messiest, most edge-case-filled data out there. I am looking for beta testers to try running VAT on their pipelines and report any crashes, weird alignment artifacts, or segfaults.
Availability: The tool is ONLY free for academic and research use. https://github.com/xuan13hao/VAT
If you run into any issues, please open an Issue on GitHub. I am actively monitoring the repo and aiming to fix bugs.
Thanks for your time and help!
