Bowtie2 Specifying -k value (Alignment Search)
One of our users has requested to see if we could add specifying an alignment search option to Bowtie2 (-k and -a option http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/bowtie2/manual.shtml#default-mode-search-f... ) Is this something anyone else has added to their galaxy installs? If so, how? I was looking at galaxy/dist/tools/sr_mapping/bowtie2_wrapper.* and it does not seem to challenging to add another field where a user could specify some integer value that we simply pass to the the <command> tag in the xml file. Would this be the correct way to go about this?

Yes, this is correct; the -X or -I option are good examples of using integer parameters. The Bowtie2 wrapper has never been fleshed out; if you do decided to add options, please consider submitting a pull request so that others can benefit from your work as well. Best, J.
