.SH NAME
rapmap \- rapid sensitive and accurate DNA read mapping via quasi-mapping
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rapmap
\fI[pseudoindex|pseudomap|quasiindex|quasimap]\fR \fI<options>\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
RapMap is a testing ground for ideas in quasi-mapping / (lightweight /
pseudo) transcriptome alignment. That means that, at this point, it is
somewhat experimental. The develop branch will have the latest
improvements and additions, but is not guaranteed to be stable between
commits. Breaking changes to the master branch will be accompanied by a
tag to the version before the breaking change. Currently, RapMap is a
stand-alone quasi-mapper that can be used with other tools. It is also
being used as part of Sailfish and Salmon. Eventually, the hope is to
create and stabilize an API so that it can be used as a library from
other tools.
