Is there a possibility to have the distance between the putative genome and the closest reference genome? #363

As part of my research work, I would like to know the different reasons for having genomes with bad scores for completeness usng CheckM. For that, I would like to know the distance between the putative genome and the closest reference genome. Would that be possible or easy to compute? Thank you in advance for your answer.

CheckM v1 is no longer in active development. I believe the CheckM output contains a Newick tree with your genomes as placed using pplacer. You should be able to pull the information from this tree though I don't know a program that can generate the exact information you are after.
