LASTZ¶
LASTZ is a program for aligning DNA sequences, a pairwise aligner. Originally designed to handle sequences the size of human chromosomes and from different species, it is also useful for sequences produced by high-throughput sequencing technologies such as Roche 454.
LASTZ is available as a module on Apocrita.
Usage¶
To run the default installed version of LASTZ, simply load the
lastz module:
module load lastz
lastz -h
For full usage documentation, run lastz -h
