About Our Platform

RdRpCATCH is written in Python and uses the pyHMMER3 library to perform pHMM searches. The tool scans each sequence in the input file with the selected databases and provides the hit with the highest bitscore across all databases as the best hit. In addition, the tool provides information about the number of profiles that were positive for each sequence across all databases, and taxonomic information based on the MMseqs2 easy-taxonomy and search modules against a custom RefSeq Riboviria database.

The tool is available at https://github.com/dakarapliafis/RdRpCATCH

RdRpCATCH is a collaborative effort and we would like to thank all the authors and developers of the underlying databases.
