Description

Implement a module for dnaapler, a tool for rotating circular bacterial genomes to start at the dnaA gene. It’s a simpler alternative to Circlator, ideal for polishing workflows.

Goal

  • Build a new module that runs dnaapler with a FASTA input
  • Add test data and unit tests
  • Provide documentation

Research direction

Start by examining how existing modules in the bacass pipeline invoke tools and how their test data and unit tests are organized. Add a module that runs dnaapler on FASTA input, include representative test data and unit tests, and document its use; completion means the module is tested and documented.
