CUSHAW3: Accurate Short-read Alignment

CUSHAW3 is an open-source parallelized, sensitive and accurate short-read aligner. This aligner proposes a general approach to properly aligning both easy and hard reads to large genomes such as the human genome. Perform evaluation on alignment quality reals that CUSHAW3 consistently outperforms CUSHAW2, BWA-MEM, Bowtie2 and GEM in terms of single-end and paired-end alignment. Furthermore, our aligner has demonstrated better paired-end alignment performance than Novalign3 for short-reads with high error rates.
