Abstract
We present Chromap, an ultrafast method for aligning and preprocessing high throughput chromatin profiles. Chromap is comparable to BWA-MEM and Bowtie2 in alignment accuracy and is over 10 times faster than traditional workflows on bulk ChIP-seq / Hi-C profiles and than 10x Genomics’ CellRanger v2.0.0 pipeline on single-cell ATAC-seq profiles.
