Overview

AlleleFinder is a Python-based suite of tools designed for the discovery, sequence typing, and profiling of stx alleles in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). It provides a comprehensive solution for researchers and professionals working in the field of bacterial genomics.

Features

AlleleFinder offers seven main functionalities, each represented by a separate script:

  1. profile_reduce: Reduces full wgMLST profile from Enterobase using genes of interest.
  2. allele_translate_reduce: Translates allele files from Enterobase in nucleotide format to amino acid, performs content and length checks, and removes duplicates.
  3. allele_find: Performs BLAST analyses on a nucleotide allele database against nucleotide query sequences to discover their sequence types.
  4. allele_translate_find: Performs BLAST analyses on an amino acid database against amino acid query sequences to find matching alleles.
  5. aa_allele_find: Performs BLAST analyses on an amino acid database against amino acid query sequences to find matching alleles.
  6. allele_split: Splits a single allele database file into multiple files; one sequence per file.
  7. allele_concatenate: Concatenates alleles of the stx A and B subunits into a single sequence with a linker.

Documentation

Detailed documentation for each script and general usage of AlleleFinder is available at the AlleleFinder GitHub pages site.

Quick Start
