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

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.
The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM
