Description

DNA reads can be aligned with the newer BWA-MEM2 algorithm for faster or improved sequence mapping workflows. It is useful for bioinformatics users processing large sequencing datasets.

This is a command-line scientific tool. Alignment results depend on reference data, parameters, and input quality, so compare outputs carefully when replacing older BWA workflows.
