Hi Andreas, Sorry for the late response. Thanks for showing the mentoring program. I will look at the MoM.

At this moment, I just have the virtual arm64 environment. But near future I am going to have a native arm64 server. I also have some ways to test on arm64. There is Works on Arm service that is to provide "free" aarch64 server for mainly open source project. I might recommend you to apply below server as DebianMed team, though I do not know if we can use Debian on the server. I think DebianMed team is qualified for that. Works on Arm https://www.worksonarm.com/cluster/ By the way, for the steps to support bowtie2 arm64. > 3. Patch to run bowtie2 on arm64 (aarch64). Yesterday, my pull-request to run bowtie2 on arm64 without a patch was merged. It will be included in the coming next version of bowtie2. Yes! :) https://github.com/BenLangmead/bowtie2/commit/c6a6648fcd05bff0e5ca64a305bb1c488beacbcf So, now only below 2 steps. * Packaging simde. * Update bowtie2 to the latest version 2.3.5. Jun
