Frequently Asked Questions¶

- Why do I need the ".so" file ("sel392v2.so") to launch CRISPRCasFinder.pl?

This ".so" file is mandatorily required by Vmatch and dependencies. See Vmatch documentation and the option "-so" for more details.

- Why do I need the "CasFinder-2.0" repository when I search for CRISPR associated Cas genes?

This repository ("CasFinder-2.0") is needed because it contains novel HMM profiles allowing better definition of Cas genes (using MacSyFinder). All files or folders contained in this repository must not be renamed.
