Remove modified PILER-CR source code #208

Closed alexismhill3 closed 3 years ago

alexismhill3 commented 3 years ago

This repository contains a one-off fork of PILER-CR that we modified slightly to detect two-repeat CRISPR arrays, and was used in our CAST metagenomic analysis. Now that that project has its own repository, it makes more sense to archive the modified PILER-CR source code there, rather than trying to maintain it as part of the Opfi project. For now, both versions (official and one-off ) will be compatible with Opfi, but we are not committing to maintaining the one-off version of PILER-CR moving forward.

This PR removes all PILER-CR source code, which has already been archived here. In the future, it might make sense to find a bioinformatics tool that supports finding minimal CRISPRs out-of-the-box, and integrate that with Opfi.

This also resolves #198
