Any plans to switch to HISAT2? #16

Tophat is pretty slow and old, are you planning to use hisat2 instead in the future?

There is a rumor of a post-doc in france who is re-writing LIONS for HISAT/stringtie and will greatly simplify the usage and installation. I'll shoot an email and see what the progress is on the update.

This is somewhere in the pipeline, but it might take a while. I'm not planning on writing a switch, but goodness knows it would be helpful.
