bacLIFE: an automated genome mining tool for identification of lifestyle associated genes

bacLIFE is a streamlined computational workflow that annotates bacterial genomes and performs large-scale comparative genomics to predict bacterial lifestyles and to pinpoint candidate genes, denominated lifestyle-associated genes (LAGs), and biosynthetic gene clusters associated with each lifestyle detected. This whole process is divided into different modules:

  • Clustering module Predicts, clusters and annotates the genes of every input genome
  • Lifestyle prediction Employs a machine learning model to forecast bacterial lifestyle or other specified metadata
  • Analitical module (Shiny app) Results from the previous modules are embedded in a user-friendly interface for comprehensive and interactive comparative genomics. An example of the app can be found in app_example.zip
