Process

`Name`	`BWA_MEM`

Input 4 channels

#1 tuple

`meta` map	Groovy Map containing sample information e.g. [ id:'test', single_end:false ]

#2 tuple

`meta2` map	Groovy Map containing reference information. e.g. [ id:'test', single_end:false ]
`index` file	BWA genome index files `Directory containing BWA index *.{amb,ann,bwt,pac,sa}`

#3 tuple

`meta3` map	Groovy Map containing sample information e.g. [ id:'test', single_end:false ]
`fasta` file	Reference genome in FASTA format `*.{fasta,fa}`
