Best Aligner for Duplicated Sequences
I'm looking around for some input from fellow SEQers. I'm experimenting with different aligners. I'm looking for an aligner that does a good job of correctly mapping reads from duplicated sequences, while at the same time is used fairly commonly. I am already looking into bwa, bowtie, and snap, but I would like to add one more to the list. Any suggestions? Would novoalign or stampy be good choices?

i think you should change the query to aligner for multiply mapped reads!
most aligners you mention have different options to select multiply mapped reads, so it might end up being multiple options from the same tool as well...--

Thanks bioinfosm! I'll look into that. Do you have any experience with stampy or novoalign?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...
