Fig. 3From: smsMap: mapping single molecule sequencing reads by locating the alignment starting positionsOverview of the smsMap mapper. a Index the reference genome by BWT-FM strategy. b Locate the starting positions in the genome and the query read, exact word matches are shown with different colors. c A detailed dynamic alignment result is obtained by using the proposed column reduction banded alignment as a guide. The backtracking route is denoted by the yellow arrowsBack to article page
