DESCRIPTION

       Bowtie 2 version 2.2.6 by Ben Langmead (langmea@cs.jhu.edu, www.cs.jhu.edu/~langmea)

USAGE

       bowtie2-align [options]* -x <bt2-idx> {-1 <m1> -2 <m2> | -U <r>} [-S <sam>]

       <bt2-idx>
              Index filename prefix (minus trailing  .X.bt2l).   NOTE:  Bowtie  1  and  Bowtie  2
              indexes are not compatible.

       <m1>   Files with #1 mates, paired with files in <m2>.

       <m2>   Files with #2 mates, paired with files in <m1>.

       <r>    Files with unpaired reads.

       <sam>  File for SAM output (default: stdout)

              <m1>,  <m2>,  <r> can be comma-separated lists (no whitespace) and can be specified
              many times.  E.g. '-U file1.fq,file2.fq -U file3.fq'.
