  • How to Run BWA on Windows 8

    Hello,

    Even there are executable Windows-compatible BWA on various websites (such as http://bow.codeplex.com/). But I couldn't find the latest version of BWA (which is bwa-0.7.8) for Windows 8.

    How can I compile and use latest version of BWA on Windows 8?

    If you must run on windows then you will have to install cygwin (https://cygwin.com/install.html) and then compile latest bwa yourself.

        You may also want to check out Ugene. It's a GUI based tool that has several alignment tools including bwa.

        I have not run this on large datasets, but it has worked very well for microbial and amplicon projects.

        UGENE is a free open source software for DNA and protein sequence visualization, alignment, assembly and annotation

          Hi guys,

          I am trying to create and .exe file from the latest BWA 0.7 .tar file.
          I managed to extract the C files from the .tar file using TarTool, but I do not know how to move forward.
          Can you please explain what needs to be done to create the bwa.exe file?

          Thanks!

            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...
