Uncalled4 features interactive alignment visualizations, an alignment algorithm guided by Guppy metadata, methods for comparing Tombo and Nanopolish alignments, and epigenetic modification detection statistics. This will eventually be merged into the main codebase, but in the meantime a development version can be found on the [uncalled4 branch](https://github.com/skovaka/UNCALLED/tree/uncalled4). +We are actively developing Uncalled4: a toolkit for alignment, analysis, and visualization of raw nanopore RNA and DNA signal. Uncalled4 features interactive alignment visualizations, an alignment algorithm guided by basecaller metadata, methods for training pore k-mer models, and epigenetic modification detection statistics. This was initially developed as an extension of UNCALLED (see below), but we now plan to migrate it to a dedicated repository soon. In the meantime it is currently availible in the [uncalled4 branch](https://github.com/skovaka/UNCALLED/tree/uncalled4) of the UNCALLED repository.
