Hi,
Are there any tools similar or alternative to GMAP? The download link at research-pub.gene.com is not working. I am planning to align/identify EST sequences in a whole-genome sequence, by the way.
I'm still new to bioinformatics so I'm not yet familiar with the basic tools. Thanks already to those who will answer.
The most recent version was posted yesterday; there is a typo in the file name as posted on the site. You can download the latest source (updated on 2021-12-17) from:
http://research-pub.gene.com/gmap/src/gmap-gsnap-2021-21-17.tar.gz (should be gmap-gsnap-2021-12-17.tar.gz)
or browse their directory: http://research-pub.gene.com/gmap/src/
Or install a slightly older version of gmap with Bioconda. You might want to inform the maintainers of this typo.
Alternative programs are plenty, you could try exonerate, it can be slower but could be slightly more accurate (especially with refine options). Exonerate has also more flexible output formats, which comes at the cost of being more complex to configure these formats.
