TrIdent: TrIdent - Transduction Identification

The `TrIdent` R package automates the analysis of transductomics data by detecting, classifying, and characterizing read coverage patterns associated with potential transduction events. Transductomics is a DNA sequencing-based method for the detection and characterization of transduction events in pure cultures and complex communities. Transductomics relies on mapping sequencing reads from a viral-like particle (VLP)-fraction of a sample to contigs assembled from the metagenome (whole-community) of the same sample. Reads from bacterial DNA carried by VLPs will map back to the bacterial contigs of origin creating read coverage patterns indicative of ongoing transduction.
