Bowtie2 With Tophat?

Has anyone been able to run bowtie2 with tophat? Seems tophat is still reliant on Bowtie 0.12.7, but reading the specs on bowtie2 - it is probably a better option for >50bp reads.

Update. Now that tophat2 is available, you can use bowtie2 OR bowtie1.

Not a direct answer to your question, but you might want to take a look at "Comparative analysis of RNA-Seq alignment algorithms and the RNA-Seq unified mapper (RUM)":

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21775302

Based on that paper, tophat would not be my first choice.

I would have to agree with you.. RUM is a great solution, and so it RNASEQR...
