A small tool to check the statements about genomes with some examples: task
You need Rust's Cargo to build the project.
Follow the official installation instructions to get it: guide
You also need GCC or any other cc-compliant linker to build the project. I use GCC: installation
(OPTIONAL) You also need to install git-lfs for ncbi-genomes to be pulled from the repo automatically. See the wiki. If you do not wish to install git-lfs, you can simply download files directly from the github. Mind the file encoding as Windows uses CR LF line breaks style, while unix-like systems commonly use LF!
On Unix-like systems with rust available:
git clone https://github.com/Ubsefor/rs-genome ; cd rs-genome ; cargo build --release
From the project's root directory:
cargo run --release -- args where args can be:
-h: prints usage message
-v: prints version
<filepath> – place a path to the file here, for the given examples you can just write the name of the file
Note, that the program accepts only files, containing raw genetic code (see example to get the idea), so if you download genomes from NCBI, use FASTA format and remove the header message!
You can also run cargo test mainly to see if your rust installation is working properly.
