Bowtie

  • Bowtie is an ultrafast, memory-efficient short read aligner. It aligns short DNA sequences (reads) to the human genome at a rate of over 25 million 35-bp reads per hour. Bowtie indexes the genome with a Burrows-Wheeler index to keep its memory footprint small: typically about 2.2 GB for the human genome (2.9 GB for paired-end).
  • For reads longer than about 50 bp Bowtie 2 is generally faster, more sensitive, and uses less memory than Bowtie 1. For relatively short reads (e.g. less than 50 bp) Bowtie 1 is sometimes faster and/or more sensitive.
  • There is no upper limit on read length in Bowtie 2. Bowtie 1 had an upper limit of around 1000 bp.

Bowtie v1.1.1

Usage

  • show all versions of bowtie
    $ module avail bowtie

    $ bowtie --help

Installation

  • bowtie comes already compiled, so all you have to do is unzip & copy to export-apps
    wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bowtie-bio/bowtie/1.1.1/bowtie-1.1.1-linux-x86_64.zip?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fbowtie-bio%2Ffiles%2Fbowtie%2F1.1.1%2F&ts=1413524287&use_mirror=tenet" -O bowtie-1.1.1-linux-x86_64.zip
    unzip bowtie-1.1.1-linux-x86_64.zip
    sudo mkdir /export/apps/bowtie/1.1.1/
    sudo cp -r bowtie-1.1.1/* /export/apps/bowtie/1.1.1/
  • create module file:
