BWA Read Length
Hello,
What is the maximum read length that can be used in BWA?
Thanks,

In principle, it works with kb long reads, but do not try that. First it will be very slow under the default configuration and second, it requires the full reads to be aligned which is not ideal for long reads as long reads are more likely to be interrupted by SV and misassembly. I have tried ~200bp reads. It works well, but not nicely.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
