PGIP: a web server for the rapid taxonomic identification of parasite genomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parasitic diseases remain a global health challenge, and traditional methods in their diagnosis face limitations in sensitivity and scalability. Genome-based sequencing technologies have improved and are increasingly employed for the identification of parasites; however, their clinical adoption remains hindered by the complexity of bioinformatics analysis, reliance on incomplete reference databases, and accessibility barriers for nonspecialists. Overcoming these challenges necessitates the development of standardized analytical workflows and high-quality genomic resources specifically tailored for parasite identification.

Methods

We developed a user-friendly web server named the Parasite Genome Identification Platform (PGIP). The reference database was sourced fro
