I was going to put this in the 'literature watch' section, but decided to place it here because its more a question about alignment tools.
In the latest online release (April 20) of Genome Research there is "lobSTR: A short tandem repeat profiler for personal genomes". Reading some of the results in this paper are quite interesting...
I attached a screenshot of one of the tables where it does a comparison to other popular read aligners (100bp Illumina).
In the column titled 'indel tolerance(bp)', only BLAT is capable of going past 7 bp indels? Is this true? And i'm assuming that the comparison for bowtie was not bowtie2..
