MAQ has been superseded by other, faster mapping programs, such as [[BWA]] by the same author. However, it's still good for some things (SNP calling mainly) and as it's primarily an alignment tool. It also comes with some useful perl PERL scripts for format conversion etc. MAQ does not align reads with indels. MAQ's nonstandard output format can be converted to SAM format with tools included in the SAMtools distribution.
