Patent Summary
A sequence alignment method that improves sensitivity and accuracy by converting reads into short fragments and converting sequence information into position information. The method aligns short fragments with a reference library constructed from a reference sequence, removes fragments positioned on adjacent entries, and extends the alignment based on the remaining fragments. The method is particularly suitable for aligning reads containing unrecognized bases, such as those with gaps or N bases.
