OMBlast: alignment tool for optical mapping using a seed-and-extend approach.Background
 Here, we introduce a fast, robust and accurate tool called OMBlast for aligning optical maps, the set of signal locations on the molecules generated from optical mapping.  Experiments with both synthetic and our real data demonstrate that OMBlast has higher accuracy and faster mapping speed than existing alignment methods.  OMBlast is implemented for Java 1.7 and is released under a GPL license.  OMBlast can be downloaded from https://github.com/aldenleung/OMBlast and run directly on machines equipped with a Java virtual machine.
