BWA
BWA is a fast, light-weight tool that aligns relatively short sequences to a sequence database. Itcomprises Java-based command-line utilities that manipulate SAM files, and a Java API (SAM-JDK) for creating new programs that read and write SAM files. Both SAM text format and SAM binary (BAM) format are supported.
