Shrimp2 For Rna-Seq
I was wondering if I can use SHRIMP2 for RNA-seq alignments of a viral genome? I have not see any paper on this and wonder if I am thinking it rightly or it is mainly used in DNA seq variation analysis?

In many cases RNAseq means you need some way to map reads with spliced regions, but for virus, the genes are transcribed in one exon (not true for a few species which have exon-shuffling), so you don't need to split your reads. SHRIMP2 is a general genomic mapper focused principaly on ABI/SOLiD, I think it can work for you as any other mapper.
