No CRISPR/CAS detection on fasta files with more than 100 contigs

[shreya1singh728]

Hello,

I installed CRISPRCasFinder using conda. I am running the script on draft genomes. The script is running fine with the fasta files containing less than 100 contigs but is detecting no CRISPR arrays or cas genes with the files having more than 100 contigs. Majority of my genomes are having more than 100 contigs, how to run the script on these files?

I would be highly obliged if you could help me through this.

Hi @shreya1singh728 ,
Thank you for your message. Did you try other tools to see if some CRISPRs or Cas are detected in you sequences? Please try another tool like CRISPRCasMeta (https://crisprcas.i2bc.paris-saclay.fr/CrisprCasMeta/Index).
Hoping that it will help!
Best wishes,
