Batch updates
Summarizing updates from v1.1 to v1.3:
Major update
Added the -overlap parameter to allow default 100kb overlap between sequence chunks. This will recover essentially all LTR candidates reported by the original LTR_FINDER. You may still see 1-2 candidates missing due to version changes or random errors. Testing on Arabidopsis, Rice, Maize, and Wheat saw a 0.5% - 5% increase of LTR candidate number from the parallel version likely due to local optimizations of search space. Benchmarking on the Rice genome using LTR_retriever show only marginal changes to the annotation.
Minor updates
- When
-threads 1, LTR_FINDER_parallel will use the default LTR_FINDER without splitting the genome. This could speed up the run on highly fragmented sequences (i.e., raw sequencing reads). - Automatically search for and remove DOS newlines in the given sequence file #11
- improved the parameter for
timeout - Tested in
Cycas_panzhihuaensis.fastawith single sequence as long as 1.2Gb. The stalling on these highly contiguous genomes are resolved.
