A computer program for aligning a cDNA sequence with a genomic DNA sequence

Genome Res. 1998 Sep;8(9):967-74. doi: 10.1101/gr.8.9.967.

Abstract

We address the problem of efficiently aligning a transcribed and spliced DNA sequence with a genomic sequence containing that gene, allowing for introns in the genomic sequence and a relatively small number of sequencing errors. A freely available computer program, described herein, solves the problem for a 100-kb genomic sequence in a few seconds on a workstation.
