Prokka wrapper
==============

Warning
-------

Prokka comes with custom databases and is thus very large: **~2Gb**!

Note
----

- **infernal** >= 1.1rc4 is an optional dependency to find non-coding RNAs. An executable is shipped with prokka.
- **SignalP** >= 3.0 is an optional dependency to find signal peptides. For licensing reasons, no automatic dependency is managed.
- **tbl2asn** >= 21.0 is required. This dependency is not managed here. The reason is that versions are increasing very rapidly. The software can be downloaded from the NCBI (ftp) at the following address.
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/converters/by_program/tbl2asn/
- **BioPerl** >= 1.6 is required, but the dependency is not managed here, although it might in future. 
- **GNU Parallel** >= 20120322 is required but is shipped with Prokka and thus is not managed by the tool dependency system
