Abstract

This unit shows how to use the SOAPaligner package to align short reads to reference. The use of the two most common versions of SOAPaligner, SOAP2 and SOAP3-dp, will be described in detail. The unit also includes a protocol for SNP calling from SOAP2 alignment with SOAPsnp. Curr. Protoc. Bioinform. 44:11.11.1-11.11.17. © 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
