Sdust is a reimplementation of the symmetric DUST algorithm for finding low-complexity regions in DNA sequences. It gives identical output to NCBI's dustmasker except in assembly gaps, and is four times as fast. The source code here was initially written for minimap and later minimap2. This repo is a standalone copy.
