mafTools

mafTools is a collection of tools that operate on Multiple Alignment Format (maf) files.

Authors

Dent Earl, Benedict Paten, Mark Diekhans

Dependencies

With the exception of the python dependencies, when a component is missing a dependency it will not be built, tested or cleaned by the Makefile. If the python dependencies are missing then some of the modules will fail to function and all of the modules' tests will fail. The sonLib and pinchesAndCacti dependencies should be built and placed in the same parent directory as mafTools.

Installation

  1. Install dependencies.
  2. Download or clone the mafTools package. Consider making it a sibling directory to sonLib/ and pinchesAndCacti.
  3. cd into mafTools directory.
  4. Type make.
