bsbolt 1.4.6

Bisulfite Sequencing Processing Platform

BSBolt (BiSulfite Bolt)

A fast and safe bisulfite sequencing analysis platform

BiSuflite Bolt (BSBolt); a fast and scalable bisulfite sequencing analysis platform. BSBolt is an integrated analysis platform that offers support for bisulfite sequencing read simulation, alignment, methylation calling, data aggregation, and data imputation. BSBolt has been validated to work with a wide array of bisulfite sequencing data,including whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS), reduced representative bisulfite sequencing data (RRBS), and targeted methylation sequencing data. BSBolt utilizes forked versions of BWA and WGSIM for read alignment and read simulation respectively. BSBolt is released under the MIT license.

Release Notes

• v1.4.6
  • Alignment statistics now output as generated.
  • Fixed bug where alignment would stop when observed mappability was low.
• v1.4.5
  • Fixed maximum read depth bug that prevented methylation call on site covered by greater than 8000 reads
  • Refactored build script, with experimental support for M1 Macs
• v1.4.4
  • The default entry point for BSBolt has changed from BSBolt to bsbolt for conda compatibility
