GeneFamHunter: annotation-independent recovery of divergent and tandemly arrayed gene-family members from genome assemblies
Motivation: Gene families expand by tandem duplication, diverge and decay, so their members are often missing, fragmented or fused in automated genome annotations, and divergent copies escape pairwise similarity searches. These challenges are particularly pronounced in non-model organisms, for which well-annotated genomes and reference proteomes are often unavailable, limiting the applicability…
