 # GTC to VCF converter
 
+## Semi-archived state
+As of May 2023, it is now recommended to use the fully-supported Illumina solution:
+https://support.illumina.com/array/array_software/ima-array-analysis-cli.html for GTC to VCF conversion. That tool is the most up-to-date with bug fixes and improvements.
+This repository will remain open, but may be fully archived in the near future.
+
 ## Requirements
 
 **GTCtoVCF is currently only known to work with python2.7.**
