AMRFinderPlus v3.11.17
This is a minor software release update with two changes. A bug fix for a very rare bug with mild consequences, and a minor improvement in the functionality of the --update option.
The release fixes a bug when AMRFinderPlus is run in combined nucleotide and protein mode where only a partial gene was assembled for proteins with long amino-acid repeats (e.g., espF, CAI43856.1). In the right circumstances AMRFinderPlus could report multiple combined hits to the same gene with the same start and stop coordinates. We've only seen the exact triggering circumstances a few times in more than a million assemblies, so it should be very rare. This release fixes that bug.
The release also contains a minor improvement to amrfinder_update
to also create the parent database directory if it doesn't exist when amrfinder_update
is run.
