+Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) is an efficient program that aligns
+relatively short nucleotide sequences against a long reference
+sequence such as the human genome. It implements two algorithms, bwa-
+short and BWA-SW. The former works for query sequences shorter than
+200bp and the latter for longer sequences up to around 100kbp. Both
+algorithms do gapped alignment. They are usually more accurate and
+faster on queries with low error rates.

+If you use BWA-SW, please cite:
