A toolbox for improving population genomes.
Project description
[This project is in active development and not currently recommended for public use.]
RefineM is a set of tools for improving population genomes. It provides methods designed to improve the completeness of a genome along with methods for identifying and removing contamination. RefineM comprises only part of a full genome QC pipeline and should be used in conjunction with existing QC tools such as CheckM. The functionality currently planned is:
Improve completeness:
identify contigs with similarity to specific reference genome(s)
identify contigs with compatible GC, coverage, and tetranucleotide signatures
indetify partial population genomes which should be merged together (requires CheckM)
Reducing contamination:
taxonomically classify contigs within a genome in order to identify outliers
identify contigs with divergent GC content, coverage, or tetranucleotide signatures
identify contigs with a coding density suggestive of a Eukaryotic origin
