Fast, accurate read mapping
The Ultra-fast Read Mapper (URMAP) is ~10x faster than BWA
with comparable accuracy on benchmark tests.
URMAP offers faster
options when when very high accuracy is not essential. In such applications, speeds ~20x faster than BWA can be achieved
(up to ~1M reads per second on a 24-core server).
