ReCycled: A Tool to Reset the Start of Circular Bacterial Chromosomes
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).
