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. |
