Isn't this the software that turns alignments into images to run through an image analysis pipeline? They just jerryrigged alignment data onto an image analysis system?
Does it offer speed/memory advantages over traditional variant calling?
It's worse than that. It turns imaging data (illumina basecaller) into sequences, aligns them, turns them back into images (nucleotides go into the same channel for some reason), THEN uses 100x more compute to get a questionable 1% gain on indels.
