BigFiRSt: A Software Program Using Big Data Technique for Mining Simple Sequence Repeats From Large-Scale Sequencing Data
BackgroundSimple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are short tandem repeats of nucleotide sequences.It has been shown that SSRs are associated with human diseases and are of medical relevance.Accordingly, a variety of computational methods have been proposed to mine SSRs from genomes.Conventional methods rely on a high-quality complete genome to identify SSR
