distmap

DistMap is a user-friendly pipeline designed to map short reads in a MapReduce framework on a local Hadoop cluster. It is designed to be easily implemented by researchers who do not have expert knowledge of bioinformatics. As it does not have any dependencies, DistMap provides full flexibility and control to the user. The user can use any version of a compatible mapper and any reference genome assembly. There is no need to maintain the mapper, reference or DistMap source code on each of the slaves (nodes) in the Hadoop cluster, making maintenance extremely easy.
