Bowtie2 for PPC64LE

[Christopher M. Sullivan]

Hi All,
Recently we found that the developers of Bowtie2 have included support for ppc64le machines. Here is the link and method to compile from source. Bowtie2 is used by many groups working on genomes and this really enables that work on the OpenPOWER platform.

Link: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=bowtie2

How to Compile:
git clone https://github.com/BenLangmead/bowtie2
cd bowtie2
git submodule
git submodule update –init –recursive
POPCNT_CAPABILITY=0 NO_TBB=1 make
