Product includes comprehensive pipelines for variant detection and metagenomic analysis with any combination of Illumina, Complete Genomics and Roche 454 data. Yes Yes, for variant calling Yes Yes Free for individual investigator use. link
Segemehl Can handle insertions, deletions and mismatches. Uses enhanced suffix arrays. Yes No Yes Yes Free for non-commercial use link [40] 2009
SeqMap Up to 5 mixed substitutions and insertions/deletions. Various tuning options and input/output formats. Free for academic and non-commercial use. link
Shrec Short read error correction with a Suffix trie data structure. Yes (Java) link
SHRiMP Indexes the reference genome as of version 2. Uses masks to generate possible keys. Can map ABI SOLiD color space reads. Yes Yes Yes Yes (OpenMP) BSD derivative link

SLIDER Slider is an application for the Illumina Sequence Analyzer output that uses the "probability" files instead of the sequence files as an input for alignment to a reference sequence or a set of reference sequences. link
SOAP, SOAP2, SOAP3 and SOAP3-dp SOAP: Robust with a small (1-3) number of gaps and mismatches. Speed improvement over BLAT, uses a 12 letter hash table. SOAP2: using bidirectional BWT to build the index of reference, and it is much faster than the first version. SOAP3: GPU-accelerated version that could find all 4-mismatch alignments in tens of seconds per one million reads. SOAP3-dp, also GPU accelerated, supports arbitrary number of mismatches and gaps according to affine gap penalty scores. Yes No SOAP3-dp:Yes Yes (POSIX Threads), SOAP3, SOAP3-dp need GPU with CUDA support. GPL link [43][44]
SOCS For ABI SOLiD technologies. Significant increase in time to map reads with mismatches (or color errors). Uses an iterative version of the Rabin-Karp string search algorithm. Yes GPL link
SparkBWA SparkBWA is a tool that integrates the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner--BWA on a Apache Spark framework running on the top of Hadoop. The current version of SparkBWA (v0.1, march 2016) supports the algorithms BWA-MEM and BWA-ALN. Both work with paired-end reads. Yes Low quality bases trimming Yes Yes GPLv3 link [45] 2016
SSAHA and SSAHA2 Fast for a small number of variants. Free for academic and non-commercial use. link
Stampy For Illumina reads. High specificity, and sensitive for reads with indels, structural variants, or many SNPs. Slow, but speed increased dramatically by using BWA for first alignment pass). Yes Yes Yes No Free for academic and non-commercial use link [46] 2010
SToRM For Illumina or ABI SOLiD reads, with SAM native output. Highly sensitive for reads with many errors, indels (full from 0 to 15, extended support otherwise). Uses spaced seeds (single hit) and a very fast SSE/SSE2/AVX2/AVX-512 banded alignment filter. For fixed-length reads only, authors recommend SHRiMP2 otherwise. No Yes Yes Yes (OpenMP) Open source link [47] 2010
Subread and Subjunc Superfast and accurate read aligners. Subread can be used to map both gDNA-seq and RNA-seq reads. Subjunc detects exon-exon junctions and maps RNA-seq reads. They employ a novel mapping paradigm called "seed-and-vote". Yes Yes Yes Yes GPL3 link link
Taipan de-novo Assembler for Illumina reads Free for academic and non-commercial use. link
UGENE Visual interface both for Bowtie and BWA, as well as an embedded aligner Yes Yes Yes Yes Opensource, GPL link
VelociMapper FPGA-accelerated reference sequence alignment mapping tool from TimeLogic. Faster than Burrows-Wheeler transform-based algorithms like BWA and Bowtie. Supports up to 7 mismatches and/or indels with no performance penalty. Produces sensitive Smith-Waterman gapped alignments. Yes Yes Yes Yes Commercial TimeLogic
XpressAlign FPGA based sliding window short read aligner which exploits the embarrassingly parallel property of short read alignment. Performance scales linearly with number of transistors on a chip (i.e. performance guaranteed to double with each iteration of Moore's Law without modification to algorithm). Low power consumption is useful for datacentre equipment. Predictable runtime. Better price/performance than software sliding window aligners on current hardware, but not better than software BWT-based aligners currently. Can cope with large numbers (>2) of mismatches. Will find all hit positions for all seeds. Single-FPGA experimental version, needs work to develop it into a multi-FPGA production version. Free for academic and non-commercial use. link
ZOOM 100% sensitivity for a reads between 15 - 240bp with practical mismatches. Very fast. Support insertions and deletions. Works with Illumina & SOLiD instruments, not 454. Yes (GUI) No (CLI). Commercial link [48]
