Fast short-read DNA aligner for WGS/WES/ChIP-seq. 2× faster BWA-MEM successor; outputs SAM/BAM with read group headers for GATK. Primary plus supplementary records for chimeric reads. Use STAR for RNA-seq splice-aware alignment; Bowtie2 is a comparable alternative.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'bwa-mem2-dna-aligner' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'bwa-mem2-dna-aligner' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named bwa-mem2-dna-aligner already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8cbdd18837aa6296c4e77616a03b323bd69b57b1' -- 'skills/sciagent/bwa-mem2-dna-aligner' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/sciagent/bwa-mem2-dna-aligner' ~/.agents/skills/'bwa-mem2-dna-aligner' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'bwa-mem2-dna-aligner' ~/.claude/skills/'bwa-mem2-dna-aligner' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
