FragGeneScanRs: better and faster gene prediction for short reads

Felix Van der JeugtiD, Peter DawyndtiD, Bart MesuereiD

Abstract

FragGeneScanRs is a better and faster Rust implementation of the FragGeneScan gene prediction model for short and error-prone reads. Its command line interface is backward compatible and adds extra features for more flexible usage. Compared to the original C implementation, shotgun metagenomic reads are processed up to 22 times faster using a single thread, with better scaling for multithreaded execution. Availability and implementationThe Rust code of FragGeneScanRs is freely available from GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license, with instructions for installation, usage and other documentation.
