**Roadmap for BCL_convert**

Please note that we now //recommend// the use of the replacement [[:advanced:software:bioapps|Bioapps]] container image which includes BCL_convert and many more common bioinformatics tools and avoids the need for careful matching of dependencies between loaded software modules.
