Mummer is a system for aligning whole genome sequences. Using an efficient
|
|
data structure called a suffix tree, the system is able rapidly to align
|
|
sequences containing millions of nucleotides whether in complete or draft
|
|
form. MUMmer can also align incomplete genomes; it handles the 100s or 1000s
|
|
of contigs from a shotgun sequencing project with ease, and will align them to
|
|
another set of contigs or a genome using the NUCmer program included with the
|
|
system.
