PProdigal: Parallelized gene prediction based on Prodigal.

Project description

PProdigal: Parallelized gene prediction based on Prodigal.

This is just a small wrapper around the prodigal gene prediction program that splits input into chunks and processes them im parallel, since prodigal does not support multithreading by itself. The wrapper supports all command line parameters accepted by prodigal itself, with two additional parameters that control the parallelization:

-T TASKS, --tasks TASKS

number of prodigal processes to start in parallel (default: 20)

-C CHUNKSIZE, --chunksize CHUNKSIZE

number of input sequences to process within a chunk (default: 2000)

Due to prodigal’s self-training phase, chunks should be chosen sufficiently large in order to avoid suboptimal results.
