Can Pseudofinder identify pseudogenes in eukaryotic genomes? #55

Closed JeffreyNIEgithub closed 1 year ago

Dear Husnik,

Thank you for developing such a useful tool.

I'm currently trying to identify pseudogenes in eukaryotes, and I'm very inspired by pseudofinder. Can it be used directly to identify pseudogenes in eukaryotes?

Dear Jeffrey,

I will close this duplicate question since it was already answered by Arkadiy.

The tool is not primarily designed for identifying eukaryotic pseudogenes. However, with some changes, it could be made to identify some.

If you email us suggestions of what exactly you need, we might be able to implement eukaryotic pseudogene identification into its next version. I'm particularly interested in it for protist-protist symbioses.
