We're going to skip the trimming step for now and see how it goes. We'll perform steps 2 - 5 now and leave samtools for the next a later exercise since steps 6 - 10 are common to nearly all post-alignment workflows.

Like other tools you've worked with so far, you first need to load bwausing the as a BioContainers module system. Do that now, and then enter bwa with no arguments to view the top-level help page (many NGS tools will provide some help when called with no arguments). Note that bwa is available both from the standard TACC module system and as BioContainers. module.

module load biocontainers # may take a while

titleBWA suite usage
Program: bwa (alignment via Burrows-Wheeler transformation)
Version: 0.7.12-r1039
Contact: Heng Li <lh3@sanger.ac.uk>
Usage:   bwa <command> [options]
Command: index         index sequences in the FASTA format
         mem           BWA-MEM algorithm
         fastmap       identify super-maximal exact matches
         pemerge       merge overlapping paired ends (EXPERIMENTAL)
         aln           gapped/ungapped alignment
         samse         generate alignment (single ended)
         sampe         generate alignment (paired ended)
         bwasw         BWA-SW for long queries

         shm           manage indices in shared memory
         fa2pac        convert FASTA to PAC format
         pac2bwt       generate BWT from PAC
         pac2bwtgen    alternative algorithm for generating BWT
         bwtupdate     update .bwt to the new format
         bwt2sa        generate SA from BWT and Occ

Note: To use BWA, you need to first index the genome with `bwa index'.
      There are three alignment algorithms in BWA: `mem', `bwasw', and
      `aln/samse/sampe'. If you are not sure which to use, try `bwa mem'
      first. Please `man ./bwa.1' for the manual.
