Subread

High-performance read alignment, quantification and mutation discovery

The Subread package comprises a suite of software programs for processing next-gen sequencing read data including

Subread a general-purpose read aligner which can align both genomic
DNA-seq and RNA-seq reads. It can also be used to discover genomic
mutations including short indels and structural variants.

Subjunc a read aligner developed for aligning RNA-seq reads and for the
detection of exon-exon junctions. Gene fusion events can be detected as
well.

featureCounts a software program developed for counting reads to genomic
features such as genes, exons, promoters and genomic bins.

Sublong a long-read aligner that is designed based on seed-and-vote.

exactSNP a SNP caller that discovers SNPs by testing signals against local
background noises.
