ReCycled: A Tool to Reset the Start of Circular Bacterial Chromosomes
Vincent SomervilleiD, Michael SchmidiD, Matthias DreieriD, Philipp EngeliD
Abstract
Summary (two sentences)For many publicly available bacterial genomes the chromosome start is not set at the replication initiation protein. This is a burden for comparative genomics studies as the synteny between such genomes cannot readily be assessed. Here, we present ReCycled, a tool for identifying and resetting the start of circular bacterial chromosomes. Availability and implementationFreely available on GitHub at https://github.com/Freevini/ReCycled under the GPL-3.0 license. Runs on all tested GNU/Linux systems. ContactVincent Somerville, vincent@somerville.earth Supplementary InformationThe analyses, scripts and data to test the different pipelines are deposited online on zenodo (10.5281/zenodo.15170502).
