BWA-backtrack BWA-SW BWA-MEM The BWA-backtrack algorithm is exclusively used for short sequence reads up to 100bp, the latter two can be used for sequence reads of up to 1MB. The BWA-MEM algorithm can also be used for high-quality short Illumina sequence reads (< 100bp) in many cases with better performance compared to the original BWA-backtrack algorithm. Therefore, the more universal BWA-MEM algorithm is recommended as a starting point for most alignment scenarios.
