You never know whether DNA sequences are forward or reverse until after you map them; the mapper will figure that out on a per-read basis. You don't need to do anything special.
The usage is pretty straightforward:
Index:
bwa index ref.fa
Map single-ended reads:
bwa mem ref.fa reads.fq > aln-se.sam
...or, map paired reads:
bwa mem ref.fa read1.fq read2.fq > aln-pe.sam

bwa-mem Roche454
Goodmorning,
(sorry for my bad english), I would use bwa-mem to map sequences against human genome. I have the file fast.q of Roche454 Junior, in this there is not specified if the sequence is in forward or in reverse. In this case, what is the option which allows to use BWA-MEM?
I really hope someone from seqanswer can help me.
Thank you in advance.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM -
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...09-09-2024, 10:59 AM
