ProkFunFind TutorialΒΆ

This tutorial will walk you through how to use the ProkFunFind tool to search for putative functions within microbial genomes. This tutorial will cover the query format used by ProkFunFind, how to generate the annotation files, and how to perform searches using ProkFunFind. The tutorial has been designed so that each section can be run independently of the others. Each section will also include pre-generated input and output files for you to look at while going through the tutorial.

The tutorial materials are available on Github here: PFF Tutorial

These materials can be downloaded using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/nlm-irp-jianglab/ProkFunFind.git

All tutorial steps can be run from within the root directory of the repository. From this root directory you should see the following files and directories:

File/Directory

Content

genomes/

Directory containing genomes to search during the tutorial

queries/

Directory containing query input files organized in subdirectories

precomputed-out/

Directory containing precomputed output from each tutorial step

out/

Directory where tutorial output will be generated

ebi-list.tsv

Search genome table for EBI genome tutorial

genome-list.tsv

Search genome table for main tutorial materials

A complete set of precomputed output from each step in the tutorial is included in the precomputed-out/ directory. This directory mirrors what would be generated during the tutorial in the out/ directory.
