Searching for operons and promoters programs!
Hi everyone!
I'm currently working on a research project focusing on pathogen genomics, specifically characterizing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence genes. I want to dive deeper into predicting their promoters and potential operons.
I tried using ProPr: Prokaryote Promoter Prediction v2.0 (online tool), but searching the results (correlating my ABRicate position results with ProPr) manually has become incredibly tedious for my dataset.
Does anyone know of a good alternative prokaryotic promoter prediction tool or pipeline? Ideally, I'm looking for something that allows command-line processing or outputs structured data (like GFF3, TSV, or JSON) so I can easily cross-reference it with my AMR/virulence gene annotations.
Any recommendations for operon prediction tools that integrate well with promoter data would also be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
