This is reimplementation of SigHunt: horizontal gene transfer finder optimized for eukaryotic genomes.
Original SigHunt had poor implementation and was burden with many problems, using it was hell. There lies a new implementation, that should get rid of all these problems, making analysing signatures and subsequent verification of putative islands much easier.
As is standard lately among R packages, new SigHunt will utilize:
- testthat -- for proper code testing
- roxygen2 -- for automatic generation of documentation
- Rcpp -- for C++ binding where more power is needed
and many others.
