StrAuto: Citation and HPCC update

[Vikram Chhatre]

StrAuto Users: 

We are pleased to announce that the manuscript describing StrAuto is now published.  To date we have had close to 600 downloads and the program website has already accumulated 9 citations.  If this software is useful in your research, please cite our BMC Bioinformatics article.

Chhatre VE & Emerson KJ. StrAuto: Automation and Parallelization of STRUCTURE Analysis. BMC Bioinformatics (2017) 18:192 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12859-017-1593-0

We think the users of StrAuto will find the following two developments particularly interesting:

1. With our example data sets, StrAuto based STRUCTURE analysis on a HPC cluster has seen up to 56x speedup compared with using only one processor.

2. StrAuto documentation now includes a new section on configuring the scripts for HPC cluster environment using SLURM workload manager.  

If you have any questions, please respond to this thread.
