Cactus
======
This suite contains a wrapper for the
`Cactus `__ whole-genome
aligner and another wrapper for exporting the data it generates.
Requirements
------------
The developers provide an official Docker container. However, the Docker
container won’t run unless ``/etc/passwd`` is mounted (`see this
issue `__).
Because of this, it is recommended to run Cactus using Singularity.
Cactus uses a lot of RAM. We have tested it on Galaxy using 24 GB of RAM
for a progressive alignment of three chromosome-level, 150 megabase
genomes.
