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