Tophat vs HISAT2

Hi,
I am in the process of mapping my reads to the genome using Tophat in galaxy. However, I see that the Tophat tool has been deprecated in the galaxy platform. Can I still use it to perform my analysis or should I use HISAT2?

Hi @NIKITA_JHAVERI,
Tophat developers recommend using HISAT2 (developed by the same group), as they state that it is more accurate and much more efficient.

Alternatively you can also use Star :star2: to map your reads!

Happy research!
