Description

Description of feature

Dear methylseq pipeline developers,

First of all, thank you for maintaining this excellent pipeline.

It would be great if the pipeline could support Bismark 3.x.x, as this version adds support for Illumina's 5-base methylation sequencing chemistry. This would enable methylseq users to analyze data generated with the Illumina 5-base methylation kit without requiring custom modifications, alternative workflows or proprietary software.

Thank you for your work!

Research direction

Start by locating where the methylseq pipeline selects and configures Bismark, then check how the current version is pinned and tested. Confirm what changes are required for Bismark 3.x.x and Illumina 5-base methylation data; done means the pipeline can process that kit without custom workflow changes or proprietary software.
