  • BWA aligner: no install instructions ?

    I have downloaded bwa and unpacked it via tar xfvj

    What do I have to do now?

    I see files named COPYING, README.md and NEWS. None of them contains install instructions. There must be instructions but I cannot seem to find them ?

    use the "make" command

      What OS are you using?

      BWA is supplied as a "source only" program. You will need to compile the source code (which is where "make" comes into play) for your OS.

        Thank you adamdeluca!

        But seriously, where are the instructions ? How can you publish software without giving the slightest hint of how to install it.

        Might be obvious for non-newbie linux users but in my eyes that's kind of ignorant not even dropping 2 sentences of how to install :/

        I have already seen configure commands and others so I was afraid I would cause more problems than I already had if I was too hasty.

        Well thanks again for the help!

        Edit: I'm using ubuntu, the make command is what had to be done!

          It's the first few lines of the README.md file:

          Code:
          git clone https://github.com/lh3/bwa.git
          cd bwa; make
          Though, to be fair, those aren't exactly the best instructions I've ever read (especially since you can skip the git... portion)!

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
