BioBloom Tools

note

Assigns reads to different references using bloom filters. This is faster than alignment and can be used for contamination detection.

BioBloom tools (BBT) create filters for a given reference and then to categorize sequences. This methodology is faster than alignment but does not provide mapping locations. BBT was initially intended to be used for pre-processing and QC applications like contamination detection, but is flexible to accommodate other purposes. This tool is intended to be a pipeline component to replace costly alignment steps.
