Bowtie (sequence analysis)
Bowtie is a sequence aligner used in bioinformatics, written by Ben Langmead et al. in 2009[1] and published on SourceForge by University of Maryland. Bowtie is 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 May 30, 2014 is at version 2.2.3.
