 VERSION 1.5.1 (July 18, 2014)
 
 + Support strand-specific RNAseq data.
-+ Major improvement in assembly quality; both rare and common transcripts can be assembled well
-  with "small" k-mer sizes (ie. 25~32).
++ Major improvement in assembly quality; both rare and common transcripts can be

 + Package has been divided into 3 main applications:
   (1) transabyss          - RNAseq assembler at a single k-mer size
   (2) transabyss-merge    - merge multiple assemblies from (1)
-  (3) transabyss-analyze  - analyze an assembly, either from (1) or (2), for structural variants
-                            and novel splice variants

 - Analysis results are NOT screened against dbSNP, DGV, etc. anymore.
 - Genome assembly and analyses pipeline has been retracted.
 - Support for SGE qmake has been retracted.
