Summary:
The ever-increasing number of sequenced genomes necessitates the development of pangenomic approaches for comparative genomics. Introduced in 2016, PanTools is a platform that allows pangenome construction, homology grouping and pangenomic read mapping. The use of graph database technology makes PanTools versatile, applicable from small viral genomes like SARS-CoV-2 up to large plant or animal genomes like tomato or human. Here, we present our third major update to PanTools that enables the integration of functional annotations and provides both gene-level analyses and phylogenetics.
Availability And Implementation:
PanTools is implemented in Java 8 and released under the GNU GPLv3 license. Software and documentation are available at https://git.wur.nl/bioinformatics/pantools.
Supplementary Information:
Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
