You need to have Xcode from Apple installed (can be found on the AppStore). Extract the bwa archive and cd into it from the terminal. Then simply type `make' to compile and copy the resulting executable `bwa' anywhere you want (I would put it under /usr/local/bin - e.g sudo mv bwa /usr/local/bin).

Take a look at this thread (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4589). Shameless plug as it is my own but it should help get you going. Sadly bwa will be just the start...

Hi
About bwa and Mac.....I am trying to install bwa on Mac, after upgrading to Lion (I already downloaded the xcode 4 and added the relevant library to PATH). After trying 'make' I get the following message:
"gcc -c -g -Wall -O2 -DHAVE_PTHREAD QSufSort.c -o QSufSort.o
QSufSort.c:32:19: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
QSufSort.c:33:20: error: stdlib.h: No such file or directory
In file included from QSufSort.c:34:
/Developer/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin10/4.2.1/include/limits.h:10:25: error: limits.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [QSufSort.o] Error 1"
I have no idea what that error means and how to fix it.....any suggestions please?Yu

Unfortunately Apple no longer packages the gcc compiler as part of the Xcode4 package that works with Mac OS Lion. To get around this issue you can install MacPorts and the gcc4.2 compiler package.
Another option is in this thread:

Try the following:
You need to install Xcode from App Store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id448457090?mt=12
Then start Xcode, go to Xcode->Preferences->Downloads and install component named "Command Line Tools". After that all the relevant tools will be placed in /usr/bin folder and you will be able to use it just as it was in 10.6

jon keats and nils homer, Thank You for your answers for this post.
I followed nilshomer's posted link and tried to do what the following , what <jbm hack> posted : <Preferences --> Downloads --> Command Line Tools, and click on installWith "Components">. But this didn't work for me.
So, I rather followed the instruction in this post http://apple.stackexchange.com/quest...oads-for-devel
And then I ran the following command :
$xcode-select --install
This above command worked for me and the c++ compiler gcc got installed successfully on my mac 10.9.5. And I am now able to compile the bwa

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
