BWA is a program for aligning sequencing reads against a large reference genome (e.g. human genome). It has two major components, one for read shorter than 150bp and the other for longer reads.

Features

  • Support Illumina, SOLiD, 454, Sanger reads, PacBio reads and assembly contigs
  • Gapped alignment and paired-end mapping
  • Accurate, fast and lightweight
