mycotools 0.31.38

Comparative genomics automation and standardization software

PURPOSE

Bring broadscale comparative genomics to the masses. Operational with prokaryote and fungal genome data - generalized taxonomy-agnostic integration on the way.

Mycotools is a compilation of computational biology tools and database (MycotoolsDB/MTDB) software that facilitate large-scale comparative genomics. MycotoolsDB dereplicates and locally assimilates NCBI and MycoCosm (Joint Genome Institute) genomes into a database schema with uniform file curation, scalability, and automation as guiding principles.

• Database initialization: mtdb u --init <DIR>
• Database updating: mtdb u --update
• The MycotoolsDB (MTDB) uniformly curates GenBank/MycoCosm and local gff formats into a consistent standard
• The .mtdb database format is a uniform input for analyses with 100,000s to as few as a single genome
• Mycotools software suite includes modules to automate routine-complex comparative genomics, such as phylogenetic analysis
