Preparing a custom database

(THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

1. Obtain reference genomes of your target group of microorganisms as a (multi) FASTA file. The sequence identifiers should be annotated with the taxonomic id of the organism using ti tag as:

    >NZ_JFFH02000001.1|ti|1310720 . 
   

The position of the ti tag could be anywhere. We recommend using the provided slimm preprocessing python scripts to do so.

1. Index your reference genomes if necessary.

2. Get a corresponding SLIMM database for your genomes.
