bwa: bwa (Burrows-Wheeler Aligner) bwa: bwa: Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) is an efficient program that aligns bwa: relatively short nucleotide sequences against a long reference bwa: sequence such as the human genome. It implements two algorithms, bwa: bwa-short and BWA-SW. The former works for query sequences shorter bwa: than 200bp and the latter for longer sequences up to around 100kbp. bwa: bwa: Home: http://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/ bwa: bwa:
