Daedalus v0.3.2.
Daedalus is a metagenomic analysis pipeline that assembles shotgun sequencing data, predicts microbial genes, and identifies exact matches to known immune epitopes. It is designed to detect potential T cell cross-reactive peptides.
Highlights
- Added automatic skipping of completed pipeline steps (resume-safe execution)
- Bundled filtered human-relevant IEDB epitope database for convenience
- Improved installation layout (conda YAMLs, scripts directory)
- Expanded and clarified documentation
New features
- Daedalus now detects existing outputs and avoids re-running:
- SRA download
- Host read removal
- Assembly
- Gene prediction
- This makes Daedalus robust to job preemption and incremental reruns on HPC systems
Database
- Includes a filtered FASTA of human / human-associated epitopes from IEDB (late 2025)
- Provided for convenience only — users should cite IEDB and original sources
Notes
- Designed for paired-end Illumina shotgun metagenomic data
- Assumes human host for read removal
