Popis: Motivation Next Generation Sequencing is increasingly used in time critical, clinical applications. While read mapping algorithms have always been optimized for speed, they follow a sequential paradigm and only start after finishing of the sequencing run and conversion of files. Since Illumina machines write intermediate output results, HiLive performs read mapping while still sequencing and thereby drastically reduces crucial overall sample analysis time, e.g. in precision medicine. Methods We present HiLive as a novel real time read mapper that implements a k-mer based alignment strategy. HiLive continuously reads intermediate BCL files produced by Illumina sequencers and then extends initial k-mer matches by increasingly produced data from the sequencer. Results We applied HiLive on real human transcriptome data to show that final read alignments are reported within few minutes after the end of a full Illumina HiSeq 1500 run, while already the necessary conversion to FASTQ files as the standard input to current read mapping methods takes roughly five times as long. Further, we show on simulated and real data that HiLive has comparable accuracy to recent read mappers.
