MASH template matching #356

Closed Koeng101 closed 8 months ago

Koeng101 commented 11 months ago

So, the idea is that I have many templates and many reads. Many of those templates are similar (perhaps only a 4bp difference in 5000bp). I want a method that will be able to tell me the most likely template that those reads belong to - assuming that all the different sequencing reads go to the same template, but are just a little bit noisy (1/50 random mutation or so).

This would greatly help my sequencing pipelines, and I imagine would help other sequencing pipelines.

There have been demonstrations of template matching using MASH but I'm not so sure if there's anything about extremely small variance between sequences. I'm open to maybe supporting a general template matching function as a demo to start but don't know if I want to maintain that in a stable release yet @Koeng101.
