This technical note describes a command-line Grid interface for the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) read-mapping program. With this interface, BWA jobs can easily utilise Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) middleware-based Grid environments. The interface automatically splits the mapping task into sub-tasks that are executed in parallel in a computing Grid. This approach can significantly speed up the read-mapping process.
