  Description     : ultrafast memory-efficient short read aligner

 This package addresses the problem to interpret the results from the
 latest (2010) DNA sequencing technologies. Those will yield fairly
 short stretches and those cannot be interpreted directly. It is the
 challenge for tools like Bowtie to give a chromosomal location to the
 short stretches of DNA sequenced per run.
 .
 Bowtie aligns short DNA sequences (reads) to the human genome at a rate
 of over 25 million 35-bp reads per hour. Bowtie indexes the genome with
 a Burrows-Wheeler index to keep its memory footprint small: typically
 about 2.2 GB for the human genome (2.9 GB for paired-end).

The packaging is already completed and can be inspected at
