PaPi -> anvio #93

Closed meren closed 9 years ago

meren commented 9 years ago

Although we all like and have gotten used to "PaPi", the name is very limiting considering things that can be done using this codebase. We analyze genomic data from single cells or cultivars, metatranscriptomic data or metagenomic data, as well as now transcriptomic data from eukaryotes.

PaPi, "Post-assembly metagenomics pipeline", does not do justice to the diversity of things this pipeline can be used for.

With its new name, anvio, will be known as an analysis and visualization platform for 'omics data.

We have a conceptual logo, too:

That circle is the Ensō character, which I am very fond of. Beyond its lovely meaning, it goes well with our "circular" trees. Also, this was the perfect time to do this as it would have been extremely hard to do the switch after publishing it.

I hope it wouldn't be too hard to retire PaPi! :)
