Or on galaxy, which has only color space support on their test server ...
If bwa drops solid support then the remaining opensource options off the top of my head are bfast and bowtie.
There's also novoalign and bioscope (non open source )
But the drop for solid.support might also reflect a decrease in solid data in the wild ...
Possibly due to Life Tech push for Ion Torrent ...
What are your views?

Dear Heng,
ReplyDeleteWe would really appreciate if this option is supported in the future. We are using BWA for solid data in three locations running 7 solids at the moment and we are not very keen to switch to Lifescope of bfast since we developed automated and integrated pipelines.

Thanks for all the replies. I will disable the color-space support in the 0.6.x branch, but leave non-functional source code in the files (though this is not my style). In future, I may re-evaluate the necessity of supporting color-space alignment in the 0.6.x branch. People who use bwa for color-space alignment may continue to use 0.5.10. 0.5.10 is as accurate as 0.6.x. It may be slower but just a little bit.
Thank you all,
Heng
