Description

PEANUT is a read mapper for DNA or RNA sequence reads. Read mapping is the process of aligning biological DNA or RNA sequencing reads to a known reference genome. By exploiting the massive parallelism of modern graphics processors and a novel index datastructure, PEANUT achieves supreme sensitivity and speed compared to current state of the art read mappers like BWA MEM, Bowtie2 and RazerS3. PEANUT thereby allows to report both only the best hits or all hits.
