Description: genome-scale comparison of biological sequences
|
| 19 |
LAST is software for comparing and aligning sequences, typically DNA or
|
| 20 |
protein sequences. LAST is similar to BLAST, but it copes better with very
|
| 21 |
large amounts of sequence data. Here are two things LAST is good at:
|
| 22 |
.
|
| 23 |
* Comparing large (e.g. mammalian) genomes.
|
| 24 |
* Mapping lots of sequence tags onto a genome.
|
| 25 |
.
|
| 26 |
The main technical innovation is that LAST finds initial matches based on
|
| 27 |
their multiplicity, instead of using a fixed size (e.g. BLAST uses 10-mers).
|
| 28 |
This allows one to map tags to genomes without repeat-masking, without becoming
|
| 29 |
overwhelmed by repetitive hits. To find these variable-sized matches, it uses
|
| 30 |
a suffix array (inspired by Vmatch). To achieve high sensitivity, it uses a
|
| 31 |
discontiguous suffix array, analogous to spaced seeds.
