+Bowtie 2 is an ultrafast and memory-efficient tool for aligning
+sequencing 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.
