title: Efficient Alignment of Illumina-Like High-Throughput Sequencing Reads with the GEnomic Multi-tool (GEM) Mapper.
abstract: Modern Illumina-like high-throughput sequencing machines allow the cheap decoding of great amounts of DNA. The GEnomic Multi-tool (GEM) mapper is one of the fastest and most sensitive methods known to date to align such data to a known genomic reference. This unit explains how to use it effectively.
