Wrapper for the Phyluce phylogenomics software package
Project description
UCEasy: a wrapper for the Phyluce software package
UCEasy is a wrapper to automate manual procedures of the Phyluce software package by abstracting the pipeline steps in only one command, easing the execution and improving reproducibility.
At the moment, the only software for in silico analysis of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) is Phyluce, but its execution can be quite challenging especially for non-computer experts. UCEasy is a convenient tool that automates the execution of common tasks for all types of UCE analysis, these being Quality Control, Assembly and UCE Processing.
Pros
- Automation of the pipeline steps
- Easier to execute
- Extensible software architecture
Installation Guide
Dependencies
- Python ^3.7
- Python's official package installer (pip)
- Conda (for installing Phyluce)
