This repository contains a reciprocal BLAST program for filtering down BLAST results to best bidirectional hits. It also contains a toolkit for finding and visualizing BLAST hits for gene clusters within multiple bacterial genomes.
The current CLI interface for BackBLAST2 is written in Bash. This causes portability issues between different systems. In particular, identifying the script's source directory is a challenge given that not all systems have a consistent way to identify full directory paths, as mentioned in #57 .
Re-writing the CLI in another language like Python could result in substantial stability improvements.
