HUNANA 1.0.4a0

HUNANA

Hunana

A modular implementation of Hunana. A sub-module of ViVA.

The conserved sequences of the viral protein sequences are considered as candidates for vaccine design against continuously mutating viruses. Nonameric sequences from the viral genome are recognized and processed by human leukocyte antigens and T cell receptors. HUNANA is a command-line based tool which can provide a list of positions of conserved nonameric (kmer) sequences for a given viral protein sequence by utilizing Shannon’s entropy formula.

  }
]

Advanced Usage (Generate Variant Data)

The flag --he/--header along with the -f/--format header can be used to generate data for each variant using the metadata from the fasta sequence header.

hunana -i sequences.fasta -o output.json -he -f "(type)|(id)|(strain)"

Each componant (ex: id, strain, country, etc)of the header needs to be wrapped in brackets. Any separator (Ex: |, /, _, etc) can be used.
