Fig. 1From: A survey of mapping algorithms in the long-reads eraDifferences in the main steps between short-read mapping (left) and long-read mapping (right). Query denotes the read and reference denotes a genome region. Mainly, short-read approaches extend (orange parts) from a single anchor (in blue) on the whole read length while long-read approaches gather multiple anchors, and chain (yellow line) them in for a candidate extending procedure that is done between pairs of anchorsBack to article page
