Novel biologically relevant small RNA-sequencing alignment tool LevenMap for alignment to database of non-coding RNAs
A crucial aspect of the bioinformatics workflow in small RNA-sequencing is the alignment of reads to a database of reference ncRNAs. Alignment algorithms such as Bowtie, Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA), and Spliced Transcripts Alignment to a Reference (STAR) - which are designed for aligning reads to a reference genome - are typically used. Aligning short RNA-sequenced reads to a database of…
