Lineage

bwa-mem3 is maintained by Fulcrum Genomics as a derivative of bwa-mem2, itself derived from bwa (Li & Durbin, 2009). The BWA-MEM algorithm was originally described in:

Heng Li. Aligning sequence reads, clone sequences and assembly contigs with BWA-MEM. arXiv:1303.3997, 2013. arXiv:1303.3997

The bwa-mem3-specific changes and improvements carried on top of bwa-mem2 are documented in What’s Different from bwa-mem2.
