Python wrappers for a fork of progressiveMauve multiple genome aligner

mauve-py is particularly suited to mapping modified synthetic genomes back to a reference genome and includes features to aid in the "healing" of the mapping that the progressive mauve binaries miss

Right now we support comparing only two genomes at a time, although mauve will handle more.

Use fasta files on the input:

import mauve
index_lookup_table = mauve.buildIndex("my_genome_A.fa", "reference_genome_B.fa")

the index_lut is a lookup table mapping a modified genome A index to a reference genome B index from the 5' end starting at 0.

Get these for your platform (Linux or OS X, Windows is unsupported)

• automake
• libtool
• pkg-config
• boost > 1.55

Which can easily be installed with the package manager for your OS, apt, yum, etc on Linux, or Homebrew for OS X

• numpy
• bitarray
• cython
• libnano

which can all be installed with pip except libnano

Double check you have the right boost components installed

boost requirements for debian linux

libboost-filesystem-dev, libboost-program-options-dev, libboost-iostreams-dev

run:

python setup.py install

Double check you have the right boost components installed

make sure you have Homebrew installed on OS X Mavericks

brew install boost --c++11

run:

python setup.py install

see:

• clang boost ref 1
• clang boost ref 2

If you'd like to use mauve without the python wrapper, look in the mauve/src path for the fork of the source. It is updated to build on recent gcc and clang with c++11, mainly out of the need to get rid of build errors and warnings.

• updated to latest boost 1.55ish so we now run BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 3 instead of 2
• OS X is clang compatible now. follow instructions below.
• no Windows support although it might be easy to add back in
• lots of compiler warning fixes thanks to building on both clang and gcc
