Salmonella CRISPR Typing

Build Status PyPI version bio.tools entry

CRISPR polymorphism is a powerful tool to subtype Salmonella strains and is now used in routine for epidemiological investigations. This tool gets a CRISPR profile by identifying the presence of known spacers and direct repeats (DRs) in a given sequence based on a catalogue.

This tool is a reimplemntation of a former tool in Perl/CGI developed by G. Guigon


Installation
Requirements

This tool is developed in Python3 and uses Biopython library.

We recommand the use of a virtual environment to install and run the tool.

To install, run the following commands:

on3 -m venv crispr_typing
ce crispr_typing/bin/activate
install salmonella_crispr_typing

To check if the installation was successful, try to display the help menu:

pr_typing -h
How does it work ?

Salmonella CRISPR Typing tool allows the discovery of spacers and DRs from either a PCR product of a full assembly.

pr_typing your_file.fa

Please, read the help message for advanced features on the tool.

pr_typing --help
Example

In the example folder, you have example files from the following command:

pr_typing query.fasta -o seq.output -c -l -e
Output files

Name | content | —- | ——- | seq.output | sequence with spacer sequences replaced by their names | seq.bed | BED file of all the spacers found | new_spacers.fa | sequence of new spacers found |
