The PIMMS (Pragmatic Insertional Mutation Mapping System) pipeline has been developed for simple conditionally essential genome discovery experiments in bacteria. Capable of using raw sequence data files alongside a FASTA sequence of the reference genome and GFF file, PIMMS will generate a tabulated output of each coding sequence with corresponding mapped insertions accompanied with normalized results enabling streamlined analysis. This allows for a quick assay of the genome to identify conditionally essential genes on a standard desktop computer prioritizing results for further investigation.
The PIMMS script, manual and accompanying test data is freely available at https://github.com/ADAC-UoN/PIMMS.
PIMMS(实用插入突变映射系统)流程已开发用于细菌中简单的条件必需基因组发现实验。PIMMS能够使用原始序列数据文件以及参考基因组的FASTA序列和GFF文件,将生成每个编码序列的表格输出,以及相应的映射插入,并伴有归一化结果,从而实现简化分析。这使得能够在标准台式计算机上快速检测基因组,以识别条件必需基因,并对结果进行优先级排序以供进一步研究。
