New mapper

Read mapping is the most CPU-intensive bottleneck in bioinformatics. A new mapper, Minibwa, has been released and is now installed. It is four times faster than BWA and twice as fast as BWA-mem2 with similar accuracy, but uses the same amount of memory as the old BWA. You can map short and accurate long reads. The output has changed, so only use it for new projects.
