GSNAP (Genomic Short-read Nucleotide Alignment Program) is a tool to align single- and paired-end reads to a reference genome. The GSNAP algorithm is based on the seed-and-extend method and works on reads down to 14 nucleotides of length, and computes SNP-tolerant alignments of various combinations of major and minor alleles. The algorithm can discover long-distance and interchromosomal splicing events by utilizing known splice sites data or by probabilistic models. In addition, the GSNAP algorithm can construct alignments using reads originating from bisulfite-treated DNA samples.
