...It is especially effective for reads ranging from around 50 bases to hundreds or thousands of characters, and it supports modern sequencing workflows that require gapped, local, and paired-end alignment. The tool builds compact FM-index-based reference indexes, keeping memory usage low even for large genomes like the human genome. Bowtie 2 outputs alignments in SAM format and includes companion utilities for building and inspecting indexes. It is widely used in bioinformatics pipelines for RNA-seq, DNA-seq, metagenomics, variant analysis, and other sequencing-based research tasks. Overall, Bowtie 2 remains a foundational command-line tool for high-throughput sequence alignment and reproducible computational biology workflows.

This program can assemble and/or annotate genome for new genome and known genome upgrade using sequence alignment file (SAM or BAM format), sequence variant file (VCF format or five coloum table (tab-delimited, including chromosome, position, id, reference allele and alternative allele)) or new genome sequence file (FASTA format) based on reference genome sequence file (FASTA format) and annotation file (TBL, GTF, GFF, GFF3 or BED format).

A set of tools (in Java) for working with next generation sequencing data in the SAM/BAM format. Note that development has moved to GitHub at https://github.com/broadinstitute/picard and support is available on the GATK forum at http://gatkforums.broadinstitute.org/categories/ask-the-team
