 Description: Burrows-Wheeler Aligner
- Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) is a program that aligns relatively short
- nucleotide sequences against a long reference sequence such as the human
- genome. It implements two algorithms, bwa-short and BWA-SW. The former works
- for query sequences shorter than 200 bp and the latter for longer sequences up
- to around 100 kbp. Both algorithms do gapped alignment. They are usually more
- accurate and faster on queries with low error rates.
+ BWA is a software package for mapping low-divergent sequences against
+ a large reference genome, such as the human genome. It consists of
+ three algorithms: BWA-backtrack, BWA-SW and BWA-MEM. The first
+ algorithm is designed for Illumina sequence reads up to 100bp, while
+ the rest two for longer sequences ranged from 70bp to 1Mbp. BWA-MEM
+ and BWA-SW share similar features such as long-read support and split
+ alignment, but BWA-MEM, which is the latest, is generally recommended
+ for high-quality queries as it is faster and more accurate. BWA-MEM
+ also has better performance than BWA-backtrack for 70-100bp Illumina
+ reads.
