: reads to long reference sequences. It is particularly good at aligning reads
: of about 50 up to 100s or 1,000s of characters, and particularly good at
: aligning to relatively long (e.g. mammalian) genomes. Bowtie 2 indexes the
: genome with an FM Index to keep its memory footprint small: for the human
: genome, its memory footprint is typically around 3.2 GB. Bowtie 2 supports
: gapped, local, and paired-end alignment modes.
