AcCNET

AcCNET analyzes accessory genomes across multiple genomic units by constructing bipartite networks from proteomes to investigate functional and evolutionary relationships within microbial pangenomes.

Key Features:

• Bipartite Network Construction: Generates bipartite networks from proteomes extracted from analyzed genomes to represent relationships among accessory genes.
• Phylogenetic and Functional Data Integration: Combines phylogenetic information with functional genomic data to enhance network-based analysis of accessory genomes.
• Pangenome Analysis: Supports exploration of bacterial pangenomes by focusing on accessory genome components that vary across strains.
• Network Analysis Compatibility: Produces network structures compatible with standard network analysis platforms for further computational analysis.

Scientific Applications:

• Microbial Pangenome Analysis: Investigates accessory gene content across bacterial genomes to study strain-level genomic diversity.
• Evolutionary Genomics: Examines phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary patterns associated with accessory genes.
• Functional Genomics: Identifies functional gene clusters and their roles within microbial genomic networks.

Methodology:

AcCNET extracts proteomes from genomic units, constructs bipartite networks representing accessory gene relationships, and integrates phylogenetic and functional data to enable network-based analysis of accessory genomes.
