We have geneated binary code for Unix-like, Mac, and Windows users (see in $miteFinder/bin) Normally, it will works on machines with x86_64.
If it doesn't work, you need to compile the source code for your own. ################################################################################
To compile the source code, the latest compilers which supports the standard language C++11, also known as C++0x, is needed. Other older compiler may not support it.
Use the code as the following:
cd $miteFinder
make
Then the binary code "miteFinder" will be generated and moved to $miteFinder/bin. Finished :) ################################################################################
./bin/miteFinder -input ${your_input_file} -output ${your_output_file} -pattern_scoring ./profile/pattern_scoring.txt -threshold 0.5
Warning: Your input file should be in sequences or genomes in fasta format. ################################################################################
The description of the MITE is just like this：
mite|6|4131|4140|4194|4203|t3|4138|m1|ave_score:0.649614 GTTGCTCACCCCTGCTCTTGAGCCTTTGAAACATCTACACCAATTTTTTATTGTTTTCAT CTATCCGTTTAAGTGGATTAAAATGATGTTTTTTAATTTTTTTTTATATTTTTTGGGCCG AAAAAACGGACAGCATTGAAAAAAGCCAAGTTTTATTTAATTTAAGAAAAAATAGTCCAA CCAAATGGTTTAA
The 6 means the serial number of chromosome and 4131,4140,4194,4203 is the position of TIR. t3 means the length of TSD is 3. m1 means the TIR is the imperfect inverted repeats and 4138 is the mismatch base. The ave_score:0.649614 is the score of MITE sequence(The more details can be seen in the below citation). ################################################################################
