 Description: efficiently align DNA sequencing reads with a reference genome
  SMALT efficiently aligns DNA sequencing reads with a reference genome.
- Reads from a wide range of sequencing platforms, for example Illumina,
+ It Reads from a wide range of sequencing platforms, for example Illumina,
  Roche-454, Ion Torrent, PacBio or ABI-Sanger, can be processed including
  paired reads.
-
+ .
+ The software employs a perfect hash index of short words (< 20
+ nucleotides long), sampled at equidistant steps along the genomic
+ reference sequences.
+ .
+ For each read, potentially matching segments in the reference are
+ identified from seed matches in the index and subsequently aligned with
+ the read using a banded Smith-Waterman algorithm.
+ .
+ The best gapped alignments of each read is reported including a score
+ for the reliability of the best mapping. The user can adjust the
+ trade-off between sensitivity and speed by tuning the length and spacing
+ of the hashed words.
+ .
+ A mode for the detection of split (chimeric) reads is provided.
+ Multi-threaded program execution is supported.
