+Bowtie is an ultrafast, memory-efficient short read aligner geared
+toward quickly aligning large sets of short DNA sequences (reads) to
+large genomes. It aligns 35-base-pair reads to the human genome at a
+rate of 25 million reads per hour on a typical workstation. Bowtie
+indexes the genome with a Burrows-Wheeler index to keep its memory
+footprint small: for the human genome, the index is typically about
+2.2GB (for unpaired alignment) or 2.9GB (for paired-end or colorspace
+alignment). Multiple processors can be used simultaneously to achieve
+greater alignment speed. Bowtie can also output alignments in the
+standard SAM format, allowing Bowtie to interoperate with other tools
+supporting SAM, including the SAMtools consensus, SNP, and indel
+callers.
