1 Beta Release 0.1.16 (21 April, 2011)
2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3
4 Notable changes in samtools:
5
6 * Support the new SAM/BAM type `B' in the latest SAM spec v1.4.
7
8 * When the output file of `samtools merge' exists, do not overwrite it unless
9 a new command-line option `-f' is applied.
10
11 * Bugfix: BED support is not working when the input BED is not sorted.
12
13 * Bugfix: some reads without coordinates but given on the reverse strand are
14 lost in merging.
15
16 Notable changes in bcftools:
17
18 * Code cleanup: separated max-likelihood inference and Bayesian inference.
19
20 * Test Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with a likelihood-ratio test.
21
22 * Provided another association test P-value by likelihood-ratio test.
23
24 * Use Brent's method to estimate the site allele frequency when EM converges
25 slowly. The resulting ML estimate of allele frequnecy is more accurate.
26
27 * Added the `ldpair' command, which computes r^2 between SNP pairs given in
28 an input file.
29
30 Also, the `pileup' command, which has been deprecated by `mpileup' since
31 version 0.1.10, will be dropped in the next release. The old `pileup' command
32 is substandard and causing a lot of confusion.

37
38 Beta Release 0.1.15 (10 April, 2011)
39 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
40
41 Noteable changes:
42
43 * Allow to perform variant calling or to extract information in multiple
44 regions specified by a BED file (`samtools mpileup -l', `samtools view -L'
45 and `bcftools view -l').
46
47 * Added the `depth' command to samtools to compute the per-base depth with a
48 simpler interface. File `bam2depth.c', which implements this command, is the
49 recommended example on how to use the mpileup APIs.
50
51 * Estimate genotype frequencies with ML; perform chi^2 based Hardy-Weinberg
52 test using this estimate.
53
54 * For `samtools view', when `-R' is specified, drop read groups in the header
55 that are not contained in the specified file.
56
57 * For `samtools flagstat', separate QC-pass and QC-fail reads.
58
59 * Improved the command line help of `samtools mpileup' and `bcftools view'.
60
61 * Use a global variable to control the verbose level of samtools stderr
62 output. Nonetheless, it has not been full utilized.
63
64 * Fixed an issue in association test which may report false associations,
65 possibly due to floating point underflow.

70
71 Beta release 0.1.14 (21 March, 2011)
72 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
73
74 This release implements a method for testing associations for case-control
75 data. The method does not call genotypes but instead sums over all genotype
76 configurations to compute a chi^2 based test statistics. It can be potentially
77 applied to comparing a pair of samples (e.g. a tumor-normal pair), but this
78 has not been evaluated on real data.
79
80 Another new feature is to make X chromosome variant calls when female and male
81 samples are both present. The user needs to provide a file indicating the
82 ploidy of each sample (see also manual bcftools/bcftools.1).
83
84 Other notable changes:
85
86 * Added `bcftools view -F' to parse BCF files generated by samtools r921 or
87 older which encodes PL in a different way.
88
89 * Changed the behavior of `bcftools view -s'. Now when a list of samples is
90 provided, the samples in the output will be reordered to match the ordering
91 in the sample list. This change is mainly designed for association test.
92
93 * Sped up `bcftools view -v' for target sequencing given thousands of samples.
94 Also added a new option `view -d' to skip loci where only a few samples are
95 covered by reads.
96
97 * Dropped HWE test. This feature has never been implemented properly. An EM
98 should be much better. To be implemented in future.
99
100 * Added the `cat' command to samtools. This command concatenate BAMs with
101 identical sequence dictionaries in an efficient way. Modified from bam_cat.c
102 written by Chris Saunders.
103
104 * Added `samtools view -1' to write BAMs at a low compression level but twice
105 faster to create. The `sort' command generates temporary files at a low
106 compression level as well.
107
108 * Added `samtools mpileup -6' to accept "BAM" with Illumina 1.3+ quality
109 strings (strictly speaking, such a file is not BAM).
110
111 * Added `samtools mpileup -L' to skip INDEL calling in regions with
112 excessively high coverage. Such regions dramatically slow down mpileup.
113
114 * Updated `misc/export2sam.pl', provided by Chris Saunders from Illumina Inc.
115
116 (0.1.14: 21 March 2011, r933:170)
117
118
119
120 Beta release 0.1.13 (1 March, 2011)
121 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
122
123 The most important though largely invisible modification is the change of the
124 order of genotypes in the PL VCF/BCF tag. This is to conform the upcoming VCF
125 spec v4.1. The change means that 0.1.13 is not backward compatible with VCF/BCF
126 generated by samtools older than r921 inclusive. VCF/BCF generated by the new
127 samtools will contain a line `##fileformat=VCFv4.1' as well as the samtools
128 version number.
129
130 Single Individual Haplotyping (SIH) is added as an experimental feature. It
131 originally aims to produce haploid consensus from fosmid pool sequencing, but
132 also works with short-read data. For short reads, phased blocks are usually too
133 short to be useful in many applications, but they can help to rule out part of
134 SNPs close to INDELs or between copies of CNVs.
135
136
137 Other notable changes in samtools:
138
139 * Construct per-sample consensus to reduce the effect of nearby SNPs in INDEL
140 calling. This reduces the power but improves specificity.
141
142 * Improved sorting order checking in indexing. Now indexing is the preferred way
143 to check if a BAM is sorted.
144
145 * Added a switch `-E' to mpileup and calmd. This option uses an alternative way
146 to apply BAQ, which increases sensistivity, especially to MNPs, at the cost of
147 a little loss in specificity.
148
149 * Added `mpileup -A' to allow to use reads in anomalous pairs in SNP calling.
150
151 * Added `mpileup -m' to allow fine control of the collection of INDEL candidates.
152
153 * Added `mpileup -S' to compute per-sample strand bias P-value.
154
155 * Added `mpileup -G' to exclude read groups in variant calling.
156
157 * Fixed segfault in indel calling related to unmapped and refskip reads.
158
159 * Fixed an integer overflow in INDEL calling. This bug produces wrong INDEL
160 genotypes for longer short INDELs, typically over 10bp.
161
162 * Fixed a bug in tview on big-endian machines.
163
164 * Fixed a very rare memory issue in bam_md.c
165
166 * Fixed an out-of-boundary bug in mpileup when the read base is `N'.
167
168 * Fixed a compiling error when the knetfile library is not used. Fixed a
169 library compiling error due to the lack of bam_nt16_nt4_table[] table.
170 Suppress a compiling warning related to the latest zlib.
171
172
173 Other notable changes in bcftools:
174
175 * Updated the BCF spec.
176
177 * Added the `FQ' VCF INFO field, which gives the phred-scaled probability
178 of all samples being the same (identical to the reference or all homozygous
179 variants). Option `view -f' has been dropped.
180
181 * Implementated of "vcfutils.pl vcf2fq" to generate a consensus sequence
182 similar to "samtools.pl pileup2fq".
183
184 * Make sure the GT FORMAT field is always the first FORMAT to conform the VCF
185 spec. Drop bcf-fix.pl.
186
187 * Output bcftools specific INFO and FORMAT in the VCF header.
188
189 * Added `view -s' to call variants from a subset of samples.
190
191 * Properly convert VCF to BCF with a user provided sequence dictionary. Nonetheless,
192 custom fields are still unparsed and will be stored as a missing value.
193
194 * Fixed a minor bug in Fisher's exact test; the results are rarely changed.
195

200
201 Beta release 0.1.12a (2 December, 2010)
202 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
203
204 This is another bug fix release:
205
206 * Fixed a memory violation in mpileup, which causes segfault. Release
207 0.1.9 and above are affected.
208
209 * Fixed a memory violation in the indel caller, which does not causes
210 segfault, but may potentially affect deletion calls in an unexpected
211 way. Release 0.1.10 and above are affected.
212
213 * Fixed a bug in computing r-square in bcftools. Few are using this
214 functionality and it only has minor effect.
215
216 * Fixed a memory leak in bam_fetch().
217
218 * Fixed a bug in writing meta information to the BAM index for the last
219 sequence. This bug is invisible to most users, but it is a bug anyway.
220
221 * Fixed a bug in bcftools which causes false "DP4=0,0,0,0" annotations.
222
223 (0.1.12: 2 December 2010, r862)
224
225
226
227 Beta release 0.1.11 (21 November, 2010)
228 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
229
230 This is mainly a bug fix release:
231
232 * Fixed a bug in random retrieval (since 0.1.8). It occurs when reads
233 are retrieved from a small region containing no reads.
234
235 * Fixed a bug in pileup (since 0.1.9). The bug causes an assertion
236 failure when the first CIGAR operation is a deletion.
237
238 * Improved fault tolerence in remote access.
239
240 One minor feature has been implemented in bcftools:
241
242 * Added a reference-free variant calling mode. In this mode, a site is
243 regarded as a variat iff the sample(s) contains two or more alleles;
244 the meaning of the QUAL field in the VCF output is changed
245 accordingly. Effectively, the reference allele is irrelevant to the
246 result in the new mode, although the reference sequence has to be
247 used in realignment when SAMtools computes genotype likelihoods.
248
249 In addition, since 0.1.10, the `pileup' command has been deprecated by
250 `mpileup' which is more powerful and more accurate. The `pileup' command
251 will not be removed in the next few releases, but new features will not
252 be added.
253
254 (0.1.11: 21 November 2010, r851)
255
256
257
258 Beta Release 0.1.10 (16 November, 2010)
259 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
260
261 This release is featured as the first major improvement to the indel
262 caller. The method is similar to the old one implemented in the pileup
263 command, but the details are handled more carefully both in theory and
264 in practice. As a result, the new indel caller usually gives more
265 accurate indel calls, though at the cost of sensitivity. The caller is
266 implemented in the mpileup command and is invoked by default. It works
267 with multiple samples.
268
269 Other notable changes:
270
271 * With the -r option, the calmd command writes the difference between
272 the original base quality and the BAQ capped base quality at the BQ
273 tag but does not modify the base quality. Please use -Ar to overwrite
274 the original base quality (the 0.1.9 behavior).
275
276 * Allow to set a maximum per-sample read depth to reduce memory. In
277 0.1.9, most of memory is wasted for the ultra high read depth in some
278 regions (e.g. the chr1 centromere).
279
280 * Optionally write per-sample read depth and per-sample strand bias
281 P-value.
282
283 * Compute equal-tail (Bayesian) credible interval of site allele
284 frequency at the CI95 VCF annotation.
285
286 * Merged the vcfutils.pl varFilter and filter4vcf for better SNP/indel
287 filtering.
288
289 (0.1.10: 16 November 2010, r829)
290
291
292
293 Beta Release 0.1.9 (27 October, 2010)
294 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
295
296 This release is featured as the first major improvement to the samtools'
297 SNP caller. It comes with a revised MAQ error model, the support of
298 multi-sample SNP calling and the computation of base alignment quality
299 (BAQ).
300
301 The revised MAQ error model is based on the original model. It solves an
302 issue of miscalling SNPs in repetitive regions. Althought such SNPs can
303 usually be filtered at a later step, they mess up unfiltered calls. This
304 is a theoretical flaw in the original model. The revised MAQ model
305 deprecates the orginal MAQ model and the simplified SOAPsnp model.
306
307 Multi-sample SNP calling is separated in two steps. The first is done by
308 samtools mpileup and the second by a new program, bcftools, which is
309 included in the samtools source code tree. Multi-sample SNP calling also
310 works for single sample and has the advantage of enabling more powerful
311 filtration. It is likely to deprecate pileup in future once a proper
312 indel calling method is implemented.
313
314 BAQ is the Phred-scaled probability of a read base being wrongly
315 aligned. Capping base quality by BAQ has been shown to be very effective
316 in suppressing false SNPs caused by misalignments around indels or in
317 low-complexity regions with acceptable compromise on computation
318 time. This strategy is highly recommended and can be used with other SNP
319 callers as well.
320
321 In addition to the three major improvements, other notable changes are:
322
323 * Changes to the pileup format. A reference skip (the N CIGAR operator)
324 is shown as '<' or '>' depending on the strand. Tview is also changed
325 accordingly.
326
327 * Accelerated pileup. The plain pileup is about 50% faster.
328
329 * Regional merge. The merge command now accepts a new option to merge
330 files in a specified region.
331
332 * Fixed a bug in bgzip and razip which causes source files to be
333 deleted even if option -c is applied.
334
335 * In APIs, propogate errors to downstream callers and make samtools
336 return non-zero values once errors occur.
337
338 (0.1.9: 27 October 2010, r783)
339
340
341
342 Beta Release 0.1.8 (11 July, 2010)
343 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
344
345 Notable functional changes:
346
347 * Added the `reheader' command which replaces a BAM header with a new
348 header. This command is much faster than replacing header by
349 BAM->SAM->BAM conversions.
350
351 * Added the `mpileup' command which computes the pileup of multiple
352 alignments.
353
354 * The `index' command now stores the number of mapped and unmapped
355 reads in the index file. This information can be retrieved quickly by
356 the new `idxstats' command.
357
358 * By default, pileup used the SOAPsnp model for SNP calling. This
359 avoids the floating overflow in the MAQ model which leads to spurious
360 calls in repetitive regions, although these calls will be immediately
361 filtered by varFilter.
362
363 * The `tview' command now correctly handles CIGARs like 7I10M and
364 10M1P1I10M which cause assertion failure in earlier versions.
365
366 * Tview accepts a region like `=10,000' where `=' stands for the
367 current sequence name. This saves typing for long sequence names.
368
369 * Added the `-d' option to `pileup' which avoids slow indel calling
370 in ultradeep regions by subsampling reads locally.
371
372 * Added the `-R' option to `view' which retrieves alignments in read
373 groups listed in the specified file.
374
375 Performance improvements:
376
377 * The BAM->SAM conversion is up to twice faster, depending on the
378 characteristic of the input.
379
380 * Parsing SAM headers with a lot of reference sequences is now much
381 faster.
382
383 * The number of lseek() calls per query is reduced when the query
384 region contains no read alignments.
385
386 Bug fixes:
387
388 * Fixed an issue in the indel caller that leads to miscall of indels.
389 Note that this solution may not work well when the sequencing indel
390 error rate is higher than the rate of SNPs.
391
392 * Fixed another issue in the indel caller which may lead to incorrect
393 genotype.
394
395 * Fixed a bug in `sort' when option `-o' is applied.
396
397 * Fixed a bug in `view -r'.
398
399 APIs and other changes:
400
401 * Added iterator interfaces to random access and pileup. The callback
402 interfaces directly call the iterator interfaces.
403
404 * The BGZF blocks holding the BAM header are indepedent of alignment
405 BGZF blocks. Alignment records shorter than 64kB is guaranteed to be
406 fully contained in one BGZF block. This change is fully compatible
407 with the old version of samtools/picard.
408
409 Changes in other utilities:
410
411 * Updated export2sam.pl by Chris Saunders.
412
413 * Improved the sam2vcf.pl script.
414
415 * Added a Python version of varfilter.py by Aylwyn Scally.
416
417 (0.1.8: 11 July 2010, r613)
418
419
420
421 Beta Release 0.1.7 (10 November, 2009)
422 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
423
424 Notable changes:
425
426 * Improved the indel caller in complex scenariors, in particular for
427 long reads. The indel caller is now able to make reasonable indel
428 calls from Craig Venter capillary reads.
429
430 * Rewrote single-end duplicate removal with improved
431 performance. Paired-end reads are not touched.
432
433 * Duplicate removal is now library aware. Samtools remove potential
434 PCR/optical dupliates inside a library rather than across libraries.
435
436 * SAM header is now fully parsed, although this functionality is not
437 used in merging and so on.
438
439 * In samtools merge, optionally take the input file name as RG-ID and
440 attach the RG tag to each alignment.
441
442 * Added FTP support in the RAZF library. RAZF-compressed reference
443 sequence can be retrieved remotely.
444
445 * Improved network support for Win32.
446
447 * Samtools sort and merge are now stable.
448
449 Changes in other utilities:
450
451 * Implemented sam2vcf.pl that converts the pileup format to the VCF
452 format.
453
454 * This release of samtools is known to work with the latest
455 Bio-Samtools Perl module.
456
457 (0.1.7: 10 November 2009, r510)
458
459
460
461 Beta Release 0.1.6 (2 September, 2009)
462 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
463
464 Notable changes:
465
466 * In tview, do not show a blank screen when no reads mapped to the
467 corresponding region.
468
469 * Implemented native HTTP support in the BGZF library. Samtools is now
470 able to directly open a BAM file on HTTP. HTTP proxy is also
471 supported via the "http_proxy" environmental variable.
472
473 * Samtools is now compitable with the MinGW (win32) compiler and the
474 PDCurses library.
475
476 * The calmd (or fillmd) command now calculates the NM tag and replaces
477 MD tags if they are wrong.
478
479 * The view command now recognizes and optionally prints FLAG in HEXs or
480 strings to make a SAM file more friendly to human eyes. This is a
481 samtools-C extension, not implemented in Picard for the time
482 being. Please type `samtools view -?' for more information.
483
484 * BAM files now have an end-of-file (EOF) marker to facilitate
485 truncation detection. A warning will be given if an on-disk BAM file
486 does not have this marker. The warning will be seen on BAM files
487 generated by an older version of samtools. It does NO harm.
488
489 * New key bindings in tview: `r' to show read names and `s' to show
490 reference skip (N operation) as deletions.
491
492 * Fixed a bug in `samtools merge -n'.
493
494 * Samtools merge now optionally copies the header of a user specified
495 SAM file to the resultant BAM output.
496
497 * Samtools pileup/tview works with a CIGAR with the first or the last
498 operation is an indel.
499
500 * Fixed a bug in bam_aux_get().
501
502
503 Changes in other utilies:
504
505 * Fixed wrong FLAG in maq2sam.
506

509
510
511
512 Beta Release 0.1.5 (7 July, 2009)
513 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
514
515 Notable changes:
516
517 * Support opening a BAM alignment on FTP. Users can now use "tview" to
518 view alignments at the NCBI ftp site. Please read manual for more
519 information.
520
521 * In library, propagate errors rather than exit or complain assertion
522 failure.
523
524 * Simplified the building system and fixed compiling errors caused by
525 zlib<1.2.2.1.
526
527 * Fixed an issue about lost header information when a SAM is imported
528 with "view -t".
529
530 * Implemented "samtool.pl varFilter" which filters both SNPs and short
531 indels. This command replaces "indelFilter".
532
533 * Implemented "samtools.pl pileup2fq" to generate FASTQ consensus from
534 pileup output.
535
536 * In pileup, cap mapping quality at 60. This helps filtering when
537 different aligners are in use.
538
539 * In pileup, allow to output variant sites only.
540
541 * Made pileup generate correct calls in repetitive region. At the same
542 time, I am considering to implement a simplified model in SOAPsnp,
543 although this has not happened yet.
544
545 * In view, added '-u' option to output BAM without compression. This
546 option is preferred when the output is piped to other commands.
547
548 * In view, added '-l' and '-r' to get the alignments for one library or
549 read group. The "@RG" header lines are now partially parsed.
550
551 * Do not include command line utilities to libbam.a.
552
553 * Fixed memory leaks in pileup and bam_view1().
554
555 * Made faidx more tolerant to empty lines right before or after FASTA >
556 lines.
557
558
559 Changes in other utilities:
560
561 * Updated novo2sam.pl by Colin Hercus, the key developer of novoalign.
562
563
564 This release involves several modifications to the key code base which
565 may potentially introduce new bugs even though we have tried to minimize
566 this by testing on several examples. Please let us know if you catch
567 bugs.

573 Beta Release 0.1.4 (21 May, 2009)
574 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
575
576 Notable changes:
577
578 * Added the 'rmdupse' command: removing duplicates for SE reads.
579
580 * Fixed a critical bug in the indel caller: clipped alignments are not
581 processed correctly.
582
583 * Fixed a bug in the tview: gapped alignment may be incorrectly
584 displayed.
585
586 * Unified the interface to BAM and SAM I/O. This is done by
587 implementing a wrapper on top of the old APIs and therefore old APIs
588 are still valid. The new I/O APIs also recognize the @SQ header
589 lines.
590
591 * Generate the MD tag.
592
593 * Generate "=" bases. However, the indel caller will not work when "="
594 bases are present.
595
596 * Enhanced support of color-read display (by Nils Homer).
597
598 * Implemented the GNU building system. However, currently the building
599 system does not generate libbam.a. We will improve this later. For
600 the time being, `make -f Makefile.generic' is preferred.
601
602 * Fixed a minor bug in pileup: the first read in a chromosome may be
603 skipped.
604
605 * Fixed bugs in bam_aux.c. These bugs do not affect other components as
606 they were not used previously.
607
608 * Output the 'SM' tag from maq2sam.

614 Beta Release 0.1.3 (15 April, 2009)
615 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
616
617 Notable changes in SAMtools:
618
619 * SAMtools is more consistent with the specification: a) '*' in the
620 QUAL field is allowed; b) the field separator is TAB only and SPACE
621 is treated as a character in a field; c) empty header is allowed.
622
623 * Implemented GLFv3 support in pileup.
624
625 * Fixed a severe bug in fixmate: strand information is wrongly
626 overwritten.
627
628 * Fixed a bug in alignment retrieval: alignments bridging n*16384bp are
629 not correctly retrieved sometimes.
630
631 * Fixed a bug in rmdup: segfault if unmapped reads are present.
632
633 * Move indel_filter.pl to samtools.pl and improved the filtering by
634 checking the actual number of alignments containing indels. The indel
635 pileup line is also changed a little to make this filtration easier.
636
637 * Fixed a minor bug in indexing: the bin number of an unmapped read is
638 wrongly calculated.
639
640 * Added `flagstat' command to show statistics on the FLAG field.
641
642 * Improved indel caller by setting the maximum window size in local
643 realignment.
644
645 Changes in other utilities:
646
647 * Fixed a bug in maq2sam: a tag name is obsolete.
648
649 * Improvement to wgsim: a) added support for SOLiD read simulation; b)
650 show the number of substitutions/indels/errors in read name; c)
651 considerable code clean up.
652
653 * Various converters: improved functionality in general.
654
655 * Updated the example SAM due to the previous bug in fixmate.

660
661 Beta Release 0.1.2 (28 January, 2008)
662 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
663
664 Notable changes in SAMtools:
665
666 * Implemented a Bayesian indel caller. The new caller generate scores
667 and genotype and is potentially more accurate than Maq's indel
668 caller. The pileup format is also changed accordingly.
669
670 * Implemented rmdup command: remove potential PCR duplicates. Note that
671 this command ONLY works for FR orientation and requires ISIZE is
672 correctly set.
673
674 * Added fixmate command: fill in mate coordinates, ISIZE and mate
675 related flags from a name-sorted alignment.
676
677 * Fixed a bug in indexing: reads bridging 16x kbp were not retrieved.
678
679 * Allow to select reads shown in the pileup output with a mask.
680
681 * Generate GLFv2 from pileup.
682
683 * Added two more flags for flagging PCR/optical duplicates and for QC
684 failure.
685
686 * Fixed a bug in sort command: name sorting for large alignment did not
687 work.
688
689 * Allow to completely disable RAZF (using Makefile.lite) as some people
690 have problem to compile it.
691
692 * Fixed a bug in import command when there are reads without
693 coordinates.
694
695 * Fixed a bug in tview: clipping broke the alignment viewer.
696
697 * Fixed a compiling error when _NO_CURSES is applied.
698
699 * Fixed a bug in merge command.
700
701 Changes in other utilities:
702
703 * Added wgsim, a paired-end reads simulator. Wgsim was adapted from
704 maq's reads simulator. Colin Hercus further improved it to allow
705 longer indels.
706
707 * Added wgsim_eval.pl, a script that evaluates the accuracy of
708 alignment on reads generated by wgsim.
709
710 * Added soap2sam.pl, a SOAP2->SAM converter. This converter does not
711 work properly when multiple hits are output.
712
713 * Added bowtie2sam.pl, a Bowtie->SAM converter. Only the top hit will
714 be retained when multiple hits are present.
715
716 * Fixed a bug in export2sam.pl for QC reads.
717
718 * Support RG tag at MAQ->SAM converter.
719
720 * Added novo2sam.pl, a NovoAlign->SAM converter. Multiple hits and
721 indel are not properly handled, though.
722
723 * Added zoom2sam.pl, a ZOOM->SAM converter. It only works with the
724 default Illumina output.
