Mapping and Alignment with Short Sequences (MASS)

This pipeline enables users to quickly and accurately identify a mapping interval from Arabidopsis thaliana mapping populations, and then identify homozygous mutations within that mapping interval. Specifically, this pipeline is specialized for a bulk segregant population between Col-0 and Ler ecotypes, Col-0 being the ecotype in which the mutant was identified.
