TY - JOUR T1 - ReadFilter - Filtering reads of interest for quicker downstream analysis JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/266080 SP - 266080 AU - Kim Lee Ng AU - Thor Bech Johannesen AU - Mark Ă˜sterlund AU - Kristoffer Kiil AU - Paal Skytt Andersen AU - Marc Stegger Y1 - 2018/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/02/15/266080.abstract N2 - Whole-genome sequencing is becoming the method of choice but provides redundant data for many tasks. ReadFilter (https://github.com/ssi-dk/serum_readfilter) is offered as a way to improve run time of these tasks by rapidly filtering reads against user-specified sequences in order to work with a small fraction of original reads while maintaining accuracy. This can noticeably reduce mapping time and substantially reduce de novo assembly time. ER -
