Welcome to the Geneshot wiki!

Geneshot is a tool which allows researchers to analyze Whole-Genome Shotgun (WGS) metagenomic sequencing datasets in order to identify the microbial genes which are present.

The analysis software provided in this repository is implemented in the open-source workflow management software tool Nextflow. Please follow the instructions provided by that community to install Nextflow appropriately for your computational resources (laptop, HPC, cloud, etc.). With that installation in place, Geneshot can be run with the base command nextflow run jgolob/geneshot <ARGS>, filling in the arguments as described in the remainder of this documentation.
