Pyrodigal: Python bindings and interface to Prodigal, an efficient method for gene prediction in prokaryotes
Abstract
Added SWAR (SIMD Within A Register) implementation of the connection scoring pre-filter for platforms lacking SSE or NEON support. Support for Pyodide/Emscripten builds (#73). source_separator argument to Genes.write_gff to support using the preferred GFF3 format (#77). Fixed Detection of SIMD flags on non-MSVC compilers used on Windows. Incorrect metadata keys in pyproject.toml causing compilation issues with recent build versions. Miscellaneous broken links in documentation and README.md. Confusing documentation of the --no-stop-codon flag in CLI (#66, by @apcamargo). Changed Internal type of strands encoded in SIMD pre-filter to uint8_t to only have to perform unsigned comparisons. Removed Deprecated code for MMX detection and testing.
