GMAP
GMAP stands for Genomic Mapping and Alignment Program. It is a command-line software tool used to map and align messenger RNA (mRNA), expressed sequence tag (EST) and other transcript sequences to a reference genome. GMAP is designed to produce spliced alignments that reflect intron-exon structure, enabling accurate transcript-to-genome placement that supports genome annotation and transcriptome analysis.
Key features of GMAP include its use of a genome index and dynamic programming to perform splice-aware
GMAP has been widely adopted in genome annotation workflows to map transcripts to newly assembled genomes,
Availability and use: GMAP is distributed as a free, open-source software package for Unix-like systems. It requires
