Hi bacass fans I’m working on the #C07S9BW2STT porting - and looking over the packages that need to be ported to run on Arm platforms. The ‘dfast’ package is required in the pipeline - but that uses metagene_annotator. Metagene_annotator is very old (perhaps 2012 is last releae) and the source code is not available. Is this important - or can it even be removed, can anyone swap in an alternative? Or is anyone in touch with the original developers ( in nic.ac.jp)?

afaik dfast is optional via https://nf-co.re/bacass/2.4.0/parameters/#annotation_tool so not needed nd alternatives are already there

excellent - no need to lose sleep there then 🙂
