Abstract

Multi-mapping sequence tags are a significant impediment to short-read sequencing platforms. These tags are routinely omitted from further analysis, leading to experimental bias and reduced coverage. Here, we present MuMRescueLite, a low-resource requirement version of the MuMRescue software that has been used by several next generation sequencing projects to probabilistically reincorporate multi-mapping tags into mapped short read data. MuMRescueLite is written in Python; executables and documentation are available from http://genome.gsc.riken.jp/osc/english/software/.
