Other animal taxa? about mitoz HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi Tesserazoa,

When your target species is not in the available clades, you can still use MitoZ.

You can choose one of the clades used for mitochondrial sequence searching (the -clade option), and at the same time, specify a loose -requiring_taxa so that it would cover your target species (say Metazoa) (and thus your target species won't be filtered out, but MitoZ should still work if the mitogenome is long with >= 5 PCGs even you choose a different rank not containing your target species).

And set a proper genetic code table for your species.

In case the existing database doesn't work well for the gene annotation, you can check out https://github.com/linzhi2013/MitoZ/wiki/Extending-MitoZ%27s-database

Thank you for the prompt and helpful reply. Will give that a try, and consider adding new references.
