1.4.8 Sep 13, 2013 Identifies ITD, PTD, and read-throughs, uses qmake for running pipeline in SGE, and more BCCA (academic use) final
1.4.4 Oct 09, 2012 Supports both transcriptome and genome assemblies. A more robust pipeline and improvement to the 3 analysis suites (fusions, indels, and splicing) BCCA (academic use) final
1.3.5 Sep 13, 2012 Lowered contig size filtering cutoff from 2k-1 to 2k-10; various improvement to fusions and indel code (see ChangeLog) BCCA (academic use) final
1.3.2 Feb 29, 2012 Compatibility with ABySS 1.3.2; Streamlining of pipeline and configuration files; Analysis code improvement BCCA (academic use) final
1.2.0 Jan 07, 2011 Bug fixes and performance improved for chimeric transcript codes; also fixed assembly.py to handle output from different ABySS versions BCCA (academic use) final
1.1.0 Nov 22, 2010 Added new code for finding putative chimeric transcripts, and adjusted stage 1 filtering to reduce the number of small contigs BCCA (academic use) final
1.0.1 Nov 03, 2010 This release includes updated filtering prior to assembly merging (assembly.py), an updated model_matcher.py, numerous other feature improvements and bug fixes BCCA (academic use) final
1.0 Oct 13, 2010 Pipeline release for the Nature Methods manuscript: "De novo assembly and analysis of RNA-seq data". 2010 Oct 10 BCCA (academic use) final
0.2 May 26, 2010 Addition of scripts for novel poly-adenylation site detection and novel anomalous contig detection AFL final
