# bwa

> Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool.
> Short, low-divergent DNA sequences mapper against a large reference genome, such as the human genome.
> More information: <https://github.com/lh3/bwa>.

- Index the reference genome:

`bwa index {{path/to/reference.fa}}`

- Map single-end reads (sequences) to indexed genome using 32 [t]hreads and compress the result to save space:

`bwa mem -t 32 {{path/to/reference.fa}} {{path/to/read_single_end.fq.gz}} | gzip > {{path/to/alignment_single_end.sam.gz}}`

- Map pair-end reads (sequences) to the indexed genome using 32 [t]hreads and compress the result to save space:

`bwa mem -t 32 {{path/to/reference.fa}} {{path/to/read_pair_end_1.fq.gz}} {{path/to/read_pair_end_2.fq.gz}} | gzip > {{path/to/alignment_pair_end.sam.gz}}`

- Map pair-end reads (sequences) to the indexed genome using 32 [t]hreads with [m]arking shorter split hits as secondary for output SAM file compatibility in Picard software and compress the result:

- Map pair-end reads (sequences) to indexed genome using 32 [t]hreads with FASTA/Q [c]omments (e.g. BC:Z:CGTAC) appending to a compressed result:
