Difficulty in Understanding VIRSorter out file.

[Raashu911]

Hello, Simroux Since the time you recommended to use VIRSorter in the Discovery Environment, I loved working in that, it took time to understand but now I am able to work their. But, now the issue is that I am unable to understand the output files generated over their. That's why I require a brief description of the output files generated in the online environment as I can see it has some extra file which are not mentioned here

Can you please help me in this .? Name of the files I want to know about are:

• Metric_files (Files inside this directory)

• Tab_Files (File inside this directory) and

I just want to know what is their inside the file, as I couldn't make it out

Thanks in advance, Vishal

Hi Vishal,

The files not mentioned in the Readme are internal files of VIrSorter, and not designed to be useful to the user. "Metric_files" folder has some metrics about the expected ratio of phage-like genes, etc, a gene-by-gene affiliation of the input contigs, and partial enrichment scores. "Tab_files" includes the raw output of hmmsearch against PFAM and the virus database, as well as the output of the blast against unclustered virus progeins.

Best, Simon
