21. Bioinformatics with Python: Aligning DNA to a Reference Genome with BWA

You have millions of clean DNA sequencing reads... now what? In this video, we tackle the core computational task of bioinformatics: Sequence Alignment. Using the "Jigsaw Puzzle" metaphor, we will learn how to map our tiny sequencing reads to a massive reference genome using the industry-standard tool, BWA (Burrows-Wheeler Aligner). We will run the commands in the Linux terminal, understand why we must "index" a genome first, and generate our very first SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map) file.
