A Powerful Bioinformatics Software Tool for Refining Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Read Mapping

BM-Map is a powerful NGS genomic loci mapping refiner. It improves the mapping of the multireads (reads mapped to more than one genomic location with similar fidelities), as a refnement step after the general read-alignment is completed.
