Fast open-source short-read aligner for mapping DNA reads to reference sequences.
Bowtie 2 is a fast open-source short-read aligner suited to mapping DNA sequencing reads to long reference sequences. It is commonly used in genomics, metagenomics, ChIP-seq and sequencing data pre-processing.
Use cases: short-read alignment, NGS, metagenomics, ChIP-seq, reference genomes
Note: choose suitable parameters and downstream steps for each sequencing task.
