Bowtie 2 is an ultrafast and memory-efficient tool for aligning
|
||
|
|
sequencing reads to long reference sequences. It is particularly good
|
||
|
|
at aligning reads of about 50 up to 100s or 1,000s of characters, and
|
||
|
|
particularly good at aligning to relatively long (e.g. mammalian)
|
||
|
|
genomes. Bowtie 2 indexes the genome with an FM Index to keep its
|
||
|
|
memory footprint small: for the human genome, its memory footprint is
|
||
|
|
typically around 3.2 GB. Bowtie 2 supports gapped, local, and paired-
|
||
|
|
end alignment modes.
