The data analysis pipeline. The preprocessing of the template sequence prior to read mapping is outlined (top left). The fragments titled "k-mers", represented by gray dots, are all the unique words within the template sequence. These are stored along with their corresponding locations. On the top right all k-mers of equal length, extracted from the read, are shown. The plot indicates the frequency of k-mer matches across the template sequence for a single read. Grey boxes indicate processing events that take place within the framework. The bottom left indicates the beginning of a second iteration of this pipeline after a data specific template has been generated. The condition for this second iteration to begin is illustrated in the white circle.
