Abby SS, Néron B, Ménager H, Touchon M, Rocha EPC (2014). MacSyFinder: A Program to Mine Genomes for Molecular Systems with an Application to CRISPR-Cas Systems. PLoS ONE 9(10): e110726. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0110726 http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0110726
We encourage to install macsyfinder in a virtualenv
After creating a virtualenv dedicated to macsyfinder and activating it
python3 -m venv my_project
cd my_project
source bin/activate
you can install macsyfinder as describe below.
pip3 install macsyfinder==x.x
where x.x is the version number
git clone https://github.com/gem-pasteur/macsyfinder.git
cd macsyfinder
pip3 install .
git clone https://github.com/gem-pasteur/macsyfinder.git
cd macsyfinder
pip3 install .[dev]
python3 setup.py test
or
python3 tests/run_tests.py -vv
or to run a specific test
python3 tests/run_tests.py -vv tests/test_xxx.py
You will find complete documentation for setting up your project on readthedocs
MacSyFinder is also available as Docker container
The computaion are perform under msf user in /home/msf inside the container.
So You have to mount a directory from the host in the container to exchange data (inputs data, and results)
from the host and the container.
The shared directory must be writable by the msf user or overwrite the user in the container by your id (see example below)
mkdir shared_dir
cd shared_dir
docker run -v ${PWD}/:/home/msf -u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) gempasteur/macsyfinder:2.0rc1 --db-type gembase --models-dir=/models/ --models TFF-SF Archaeal-T4P ComM MSH T2SS T4bP T4P Tad --sequence-db my_genome.fasta -w 12
As the docker image is registered in docker hub you can also use it directly with Singularity.
Unlike docker you have not to worry about shared directory, your home and /tmp are automatically shared.
singularity run -H ${HOME} docker://gempasteur/macsyfinder:2.0rc1 --db-type gembase --models-dir=/models/ --models TFF-SF Archaeal-T4P ComM MSH T2SS T4bP T4P Tad --sequence-db my_genome.fasta -w 12
MacSyFinder is developed and released under
We encourage contributions, bug report, enhancement ...
But before to do that, we encourage to read the contributing guide.
List of all people who participated in the macsyfinder project.
The setsid binary in utils directory is used only for functional tests on macosx.
The binary has been build using the setsid-macosx project.
