This manual, describes how to choose the parameters and tune mrFAST with respect to the library settings. mrFAST is designed to find 'all'  mappings for a given set of reads, however it can return one "best" map location if the relevant parameter is invoked.

These distances can be used to rapidly infer phylogenies for big sets of genomes. Because andi does not compute full alignments, it is so efficient that it scales even up to thousands of bacterial genomes.

This readme covers all necessary instructions for the impatient to get andi up and running. For extensive instructions please consult the manual.

It's recommended for most workflows, including those for genomic resequencing, RNA-Seq and Chip-seq. Stampy excels in the mapping of reads containing that contain sequence variation relative to the reference, in particular for those containing insertions or deletions.
