Version 2.0.1 release - 12/01/2011
- Cross-platform Graphical User Interface (GUI) for BM-Map. This provides alternative solution for users who prefer graphical operation. The simple while informative graphical interface is straightforward and self-explanatory: just enter the user-defined parameters or choose from the pre-defined dropdown list and click "Go" button to run BM_Map. For backward compatibility, users can also use the command line to run BM-Map.
- Pre-built executable for certain Mac/Linux version . No need to make, just directly run from the command line or the GUI (tested on Snow Leopard and Ubuntu 10.04). For users who would like to play around the code, BM-Map source code is also supplied.
Version 2.0.0 release - 11/01/2011
- Now BM-Map accepts SAM, the most popular next-generation sequencing file format, as standard input. This means that the mapping results produced by many prominent mapping software packages can be readily used as the input file for downstream analysis performed by BM-Map. Since there are various ways of expressing mismatch information in SAM files, we strongly recommed using the Bowtie-produced SAM as input, which has been extensively tested for this version of BM-Map.
- Standardized output in SAM-like format. It retains all the required fields and information in original input SAM by appending the newly-calculated probability to the end of each line.
