RACER: Rapid and accurate correction of errors in reads
Motivation:
Highthroughput nextgeneration sequencing technologies enable increasingly fast and affordable sequencing of genomes and transcriptomes, with a broad range of applications. The quality of the sequencing data is crucial for all applications. A significant portion of the data produced contains errors, and ever more efficient error correction programs are needed.
Results:
We propose RACER (Rapid and Accurate Correction of Errors in Reads), a new software program for correcting errors in sequencing data. RACER has better error-correcting performance than existing programs, is faster and requires less memory. To support our claims, we performed extensive comparison with the existing leading programs on a variety of real datasets.
Availability:
RACER is freely available for non-commercial use at www.csd.uwo.ca/∼ilie/RACER/.
