Sean’s Notebook: BWA-Meth Output for EPI-135.

Found a different methylation aligner, BWA-meth, that’s based on a Burrows Wheeler aligner that’s supposed to deal better with gap alignment than Bowtie2. Fired it up with the EPI-135 and 10k Geoduck genome. It gave an answer, but I *really* don’t believe it. The bamtools stats output I believe claimed 80% mapping rate. Compared to the 6% from Bismark.
