sequencing reads. It is based on the novel idea of _pseudoalignment_ for
rapidly determining the compatibility of reads with targets, without the need
for alignment. On benchmarks with standard RNA-Seq data, __kallisto__ can
quantify 30 million human reads in less than 3 minutes on a Mac desktop
quantify 30 million human bulk RNA-seq reads in less than 3 minutes on a Mac desktop
computer using only the read sequences and a transcriptome index that
itself takes less than 10 minutes to build. Pseudoalignment of reads
itself takes than 10 minutes to build. Pseudoalignment of reads
preserves the key information needed for quantification, and __kallisto__
is therefore not only fast, but also as accurate than existing
is therefore not only fast, but also comparably accurate to other existing
quantification tools. In fact, because the pseudoalignment procedure is
robust to errors in the reads, in many benchmarks __kallisto__
significantly outperforms existing tools. The __kallisto__ algorithms are described in more detail in:
