Objectives
In this lab, you will explore a popular fast mapper called BWA. Simulated RNA-seq data will be provided to you; the data contains 75 bp paired-end reads that have been generated in silico to replicate real gene count data from Drosophila. The data simulates two biological groups with three biological replicates per group (6 samples total). The objectives of this lab is mainly to:
...

You can see the different commands available under the bwa package from the command line help:

Since this will take a while to run, you can look at already generated results at: bwa_mem_results_transcriptome
Alternatively, we can also use bwa to make to the genome (reference/genome.fa). Those already generated results are at: bwa_mem_results_genome
Now that we are done mapping, lets look at how to assess mapping results.
