IRplus: An Augmented Tool to Detect Inverted Repeats in Plastid Genomes.

ABSTRACT: High-throughput sequencing methods have increased the accessibility of plastid genomes, which are crucial for clarifying phylogenetic relationships. Current large sequencing efforts require software tools for routine display of their distinctive quadripartite structure, which is denoted by four junction sites. By concentrating on these junctions and their close vicinity, IRscope has emerged as the standard tool for detection of this structure and creating simplified comparative graphical maps of plastid genomes. Here, we provide an augmented version (IRplus) that encompasses a novel set of functions such as integrated error detection, flexible color schemes, and an upgraded method to detect inverted repeats in genomic sequences. Spanning across the plant tree of life, IRplus allows the qui
