Bismark Wrapper
===============

Bismark_ uses Bowtie or Bowtie2 to map bisulfite converted sequence reads to a reference genome and determine cytosine methylation states.

Preparation
===========

Create your reference index with *bismark_genome_preparation* in your normal Galaxy Bowtie2/Botwie index directory. It will create a Bisulfite_Genome folder directly in your Bowtie2/Bowtie index directory.
If you follow that approach you do not need to specify or modify an extra .loc file.
That wrapper will extract the path to the Bisulfite_Genome folder from ./tool-data/bowtie2_indices.loc or ./tool-data/bowtie_indices.loc.
