Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for resequencing using color calls. A DNA sample is encoded and sequenced according to a multi-base code producing a string of read color calls for a fragment of the sample. A reference sequence is obtained. The string of read color calls is mapped to the reference sequence. A base sequence is extracted from the reference sequence. The base sequence is encoded as a string of reference color codes according to the multi-base code. The string of read color calls is aligned with the string of reference color codes and mismatches in the alignment are detected. One or more mismatches of the string of read color calls are annotated as inconsistent. The one or more inconsistent mismatches of the string of read color calls are corrected. The string of corrected read color calls is decoded to bases producing a read sequence.
