mapping paired end data

Hello folks,

Can I map paired end data individually with my reference genome to get separate .bam files?

Yes. Just map each one individually (I would not recommend it but it's possible)

Sure, but why not use the information from the one member of the pair to help map the other? You can map them together, then filter the bam to pull out the all the read1 reads.
