Bowtie is an ultrafast, memory-efficient short read aligner geared
|
|
toward quickly aligning large sets of short DNA sequences (reads) to
|
|
large genomes. It aligns 35-base-pair reads to the human genome at a
|
|
rate of 25 million reads per hour on a typical workstation. Bowtie
|
|
indexes the genome with a Burrows-Wheeler index to keep its memory
|
|
footprint small: for the human genome, the index is typically about
|
|
2.2GB (for unpaired alignment) or 2.9GB (for paired-end or colorspace
|
|
alignment). Multiple processors can be used simultaneously to achieve
|
|
greater alignment speed. Bowtie can also output alignments in the
|
|
standard SAM format, allowing Bowtie to interoperate with other tools
|
|
supporting SAM, including the SAMtools consensus, SNP, and indel
|
|
callers.
