GEM-library

Next-generation sequencing platforms (Illumina/Solexa, ABI/SOLiD, etc.) call for powerful and very optimized tools to index/analyze huge genomes. The GEM library strives to be a true "next-generation" tool for handling any kind of sequence data, offering state-of-the-art algorithms and data structures specifically tailored to this demanding task. At the moment, efficient indexing and searching algorithms based on the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) have been implemented. The library core is written in C for maximum speed, with concise interfaces to higher-level programming languages like OCaml and Python. Many high-performance standalone programs (mapper, splice mapper, etc.) are provided along with the library; in general, new algorithms and tools can be easily implemented on the top of it.
