Two new scripts for creating simple GC-coverage plots from SPAdes assemblies and analysing PhyloBayes trace files

Before writing about science again (new post is in the making), I have uploaded two scripts that I find useful for my work:
​

gc_cov.pl 

This script is basically a very simplified version of the blobplots function from the BlobTools package. It creates GC-coverage plots directly from SPAdes assembly files, without the need for mapping the reads back to the assembly. Since I use mainly SPAdes anyway, this has been quite handy. The script will also annotate the plot when a taxonomy file is provided, which can be generated, e.g., from blast outputs. Below is an example for the plots that can be generated with the script.
