BWA is a fast light-weighted tool that aligns relatively short reads to a reference sequence. Click this link to open BWA homepage. BWA-MEM is generally recommended for high-quality queries as it is faster and more accurate. BWA-MEM also has better performance than BWA-backtrack for 70-100bp Illumina reads.

Open Tools ‣ Align to reference submenu of the main menu.
