How To Install damapper on Kali Linux

Introduction

What is damapper

Recognised as the Damapper Library, this is a long read to reference genome mapping command line tool.

For a given reference database ‘X’ and read block ‘Y’, damapper produces the single file ‘Y.X.las’. Each output file is sorted in order of the A-reads, and if a match is a chain of local alignments, then the LA’s in the chain occur in increasing order of A-coordinates.

HPC.damapper writes a UNIX shell script to the standard output that maps every read in blocks to of database to a reference sequence . If is missing then only the single block is mapped, and if is also missing then all blocks of the database are mapped.

This package contains the damapper and HPC.damapper binaries.
