GraphMap is a novel mapper targeted at aligning long, error-prone third-generation sequencing data. It is designed to handle Oxford Nanopore MinION 1d and 2d reads with very high sensitivity and accuracy, and also presents a significant improvement over the state-of-the-art for PacBio read mappers. It can also be used as an overlapper and has recently been upgraded for RNA mapping to transcriptome.

GraphMap was also designed for ease-of-use: the default parameters can handle a wide range of read lengths and error profiles, including: Illumina, PacBio and Oxford Nanopore. This is an especially important feature for technologies where the error rates and error profiles can vary widely across, or even within, sequencing runs.
