Bowtie (sequence analysis)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bowtie is a sequence aligner used in bioinformatics, written by Ben Langmead et al. in 2009^[1] and publish on SourceForge by Johns Hopkins University. Bowtie typically used with short reads and large reference genomes or whole genome analysis. The creators promote it as "an ultrafast, memory-efficient short aligner for short DNA sequences."^[2] On 16 October 2011, the developers released a beta fork project called Bowtie 2,^[3] which, as of 21 February 2013 is at version 2.1.0.
