Hello,

In the incoming modules with toolchain 2024a, for biology I see only R-bioconductor.

However, there is a series of tool in env/deprected that are very useful and mature. meaning, we don’t cutting-edge latest versions:

  • bwa
  • bwa Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA)
  • bowtie2 Bowtie 2 is an ultrafast and memory-efficient tool for aligning sequencing reads
  • bedtools2 BEDTools: a powerful toolset for genome arithmetic (comes along htslib)
  • samtools SAM Tools provide various utilities for manipulating alignments in the SAM format
  • fastqc Quality Control of sequencing reads in FASTQ files

The other tools present in deprecated (Abyss, bamtools, bioperl, gromacs, tophat, blast) don’t seem relevant to me, or even deprecated (like tophat).

Would it be possible to have those 5 software in the next-to-be release?

Many thanks in advance,

aurelien
