Hi Dominique,
You can see some reports in the following threads:
- https://www.biostars.org/p/112749/
- https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tuxedo-tools-users/BVNDDmInU0A
If it were just the parsing of Samtool's version number, the solution would be
trivial, but I worry that TopHat may also be broken by changes in the default
output of Samtools. I think that if we would patch TopHat 2.0.12, we would
need to rely on somebody doing extensive tests. On my side, I am a BWA user…
Are there TopHat users here who could help us testing the possible alternatives ?
