WAAFLE: a Workflow to Annotate Assemblies and Find LGT Events
Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is an important mechanism for genome diversification in microbial communities, including the human microbiome. While methods exist to identify LGTs from sequenced isolate genomes, identifying LGTs from community metagenomes remains an open problem. To address this, we developed WAAFLE: a Workflow to Annotate Assemblies and Find LGT Events.
