Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer program products for aligning a fragment sequence to a target sequencing. The alignment is allowed at most one gap, such as an insertion or a deletion. In some embodiments, both a gapped alignment and an ungapped alignment can be produced. A selection can be made between the gapped alignment and the ungapped alignment based on a quality value for each alignment.

Abstract:
Systems and method for determining variants can receive mapped reads, and call variants. In embodiments, flow space information for the reads can be aligned to a flow space representation of a corresponding portion of the reference. Reads spanning a position with a potential variant can be grouped and a score can be calculated for the variant. Based on the scores, a list of probable variants can be provided. In various embodiments, low frequency variants can be identified where multiple potential variants are present at a position.

Abstract:
Nucleic acid sequence mapping/assembly methods are disclosed. The methods initially map only a contiguous portion of each read to a reference sequence and then extends the mapping of the read at both ends of the mapped contiguous portion until the entire read is mapped (aligned). In various embodiments, a mapping score can be calculated for the read alignment using a scoring function, score (i, j)=M+mx, where M can be the number of matches in the extended alignment, x can be the number of mismatches in the alignment, and m can be a negative penalty for each mismatch. The mapping score can be utilized to rank or choose the best alignment for each read.

Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for classifying alignments of paired nucleic acid sequence reads is disclosed. A plurality of paired nucleic acid sequence reads is received, wherein each read is comprised of a first tag and a second tag separated by an insert region. Potential alignments for the first and second tags of each read to a reference sequence is determined, wherein the potential alignments satisfies a minimum threshold mismatch constraint. Potential paired alignments of the first and second tags of each read are identified, wherein a distance between the first and second tags of each potential paired alignment is within an estimated insert size range. An alignment score is calculated for each potential paired alignment based on a distance between the first and second tags and a total number of mismatches for each tag.
