Greetings

I would like to be able to use the ShortRead package on CIF file data from the latest version of the Illumina SCS/Pipeline tools. It appears that the current version of ShortRead (1.2.1?) doesn't handle this format. I have a snippet of a R script that will read these binary files and produce the same output as the Illumina cifToTxt tool and I'm willing to do the work to incorporate it into ShortRead. Are there already plans to do this? Can anyone point me to document that describes the basic syntax and data structures behind R objects of this class? I've looked at the ShortRead source and I'm not sure I could figure it out just from that.

Hopefully, the CIF format will be around for awhile.

Thanks

Mike
