To introduce BWA-MEM, an alignment algorithm designed to accurately map diverse sequencing read lengths and long query sequences to large reference genomes.
Engineered an alignment algorithm capable of switching between local and end-to-end alignment modes.
Incorporated support for paired-end sequencing reads, chimeric alignments, and robust tolerance to sequencing errors.
Benchmarked mapping performance across query sequence lengths spanning 70 base pairs to several megabases against state-of-the-art aligners.
Demonstrated compatibility across a broad dynamic range of sequence inputs, spanning 70bp short reads up to multi-megabase contigs.
Achieved superior mapping performance compared to existing state-of-the-art sequence aligners when evaluated on 100bp reads.
Successfully integrated functionality into the open-source BWA software package for large reference genomes.
