Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) is an efficient 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
|
|
200bp and the latter for longer sequences up to around 100kbp. Both
|
|
algorithms do gapped alignment. They are usually more accurate and
|
|
faster on queries with low error rates.
