The first application, SXOligosearch, is designed to map short sequences such as reads from the Solexa-Illumina genome sequencer or oligonucleotide microarray probes. It offers a very high degree of flexibility in terms of handling a wide variety of read errors or mutations. In addition, more than a 100-fold improvement in performance compared to conventional tools is observed. Unlike other industry standard alignment tools, SXOligosearch aligns complete reads rather than HSPs resulting in higher specificity and sensitivity. It is also able to handle low-quality reads containing any number of mismatches, insertions or deletions with high accuracy and superior performance.
