Summary: Bismark is a tool to map bisulfite treated sequencing reads and perform methylation calling in a quick and easy-to-use fashion.
"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.
Bismark supports both single-end and paired-end read mapping of Bisulfite-Seq data in either fastA or fastQ format produced by e.g. the Illumina platform, while retaining much of the flexibility of Bowtie (adjust the seed length, number of mismatches, --best, insert sizes ...). Sequence reads are first transformed into fully bisulfite-converted forward (C > T) and reverse reads (G > A conversion of the forward strand), before aligning them to similarly converted versions of the genome (also C > T and G > A). Sequence reads that produce a unique best alignment from the four alignment processes against the bisulfite genome (which are running in parallel), are then compared to the normal genomic sequence and the methylation state of all cytosine positions in the read is determined.
As of version 0.6.x Bismark does also support gapped alignments using Bowtie 2.
