Description
Added
bit-itolwith subcommands forbinary-datasetcolorstripmaptext-dataset
Changed
bit-gen-readsfragment size and long-read read lengths are now pulled from a normal distribution rather than uniformbit-get-mapped-reads-pidhas been renamed to justbit-mapped-reads-pidbit-colnamescan also just accept stdin nowbit-gen-kraken2-tax-plotschanged tobit-kraken2-tax-plotsbit-kraken2-to-taxon-summarieschanged tobit-kraken2-tax-summarybit-combine-kraken2-taxon-summaries- changed to
bit-kraken2-combine-tax-summaries -n,--sample-namesnow taken as a space-delimited list instead of a comma-delimited list (to match how input files are taken)
- changed to
bit-kraken2-to-taxon-summarieshas been replaced withbit-kraken2-tax-summarybit-kraken2-combine-tax-summariesremoved,bit-kraken2-tax-summaryautomatically does this now, and can take multiple input reportsbit-combine-bracken-and-add-lineageremoved, bracken reports are also done bybit-kraken2-tax-summarynow- as a result of this, like the lineage-building from kraken2 reports, this builds them based on what's in the report rather than based on taxids and new lookups. This ensures the output lineages will match the state of the taxonomy when kraken2/bracken was run (as it's only pulling from the report itself)
bit-gen-iToL-binary-datasetreplaced withbit-itol binary-datasetbit-gen-iToL-colorstripreplaced withbit-itol colorstripbit-gen-iToL-mapreplaced withbit-itol mapbit-gen-iToL-text-datasetreplaced withbit-itol text-dataset- removed
bit-reorder-fasta, that is now stored as a gist here: https://gist.github.com/AstrobioMike/6b91769ad13305ebd4779873afa9aa1f - removed
bit-prot-acc-to-taxid, that is now stored as a gist here: https://gist.github.com/AstrobioMike/2cc5fd147aa28c2b793c7c664502734d bit-get-accessions-from-GTDBhas had the--RefSeq-representatives-onlyflag changed to--RefSeq-reference-genomes-onlyto match the NCBI change (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq/about/prokaryotes/#reference_genomes)
Fixed
bit-summarize-assembly- would previously fail if the genome(s) trying to be summarized were in a read-only location, that shouldn't happen anymore
NOTE
bit is undergoing some changes, and some programs are being renamed and/or grouped into single programs with subcommands for organizational purposes. If you can't find something you are looking for, check in the CHANGELOG.md, or post an issue asking :)
P.S. - Sorry for doing this without a major version increment. I started small and it kind of spiraled, and now I'm waiting until it's all done ¯_(ツ)_/¯
