iMSAT Reviews

Version 1.1 of this program is completely broken. The developers commented out critical code during their internal testing and forgot to uncomment it when they finished - meaning if you plan to use this on any standard FASTA file you will have to fix the python code before you can use the program. However the code also cannot read standard VCF files because of a bad assumption in the program's logic (it assumes every line of a VCF will contain a tab in it and the program will crash if it finds any line without a tab in it). I will be happy to update my review once the project has been updated but my attempts to contact the developers have so far gone ignored and I want this to serve as a warning to others to save them the trouble of finding these errors themselves.
