IPK is a program for inference of phylo-k-mers. You will need to use IPK if you want to use any of the following:
- Alignment-free phylogenetic placement with EPIK.
- Detection of novel virus recombinants with SHERPAS.
- Protein gene family classification with CLAPPAS.
- Or do your own research experimenting with phylo-k-mers.
Check out the install and usage for general information. See cli for detailed information about program options.
Warning
Although I2L (IPK's Interface Library) is currently stable, it is still under development. Future updates of the library may not be backward compatible. This means that databases built with the current version of IPK may not be compatible with the future versions of phylo-k-mer-based tools (e.g., EPIK and SHERPAS). Check out the changelog for breaking changes.
