Mycotools facilitates automating large-scale comparative genomics through a standardized back-end database and software platform for acquiring, interfacing, and analyzing genome data.
Mycotools is taxonomy-agnostic, seeking to unify file formatting standards between kingdoms, and integrated with automated acquisition of animal, plant, fungal, and prokaryote genomes.
Mycotools automatically generates/updates a local database of
publicly available annotated genomes, and/or includes locally generated
genome data. Genome data is curated into a systematic gff3 standard, and stored in a central database with taxonomic and
source metadata. The central database comprises a parsable, primary tab-delimited Mycotools database
(MTDB) metadata file. This enables swift data acquisition, and a singular, scalable file input for
analysis.
The Mycotools software suite includes software for interfacing with the Mycotools database and modules that serve as building blocks for conducting and automating/pipelining comparative genomic analysis.
