Abstract
Here, we present CAPHEINE, a computational workflow that starts with a set of unaligned pathogen sequences and a reference genome and performs a comprehensive exploratory evolutionary analysis of the input data. CAPHEINE pairs nicely with studies of site-level selection dynamics, gene-level positive selection, and lineage-specific shifts in selective pressure. Our workflow is portable across Mac OS, Windows, and Linux, allowing researchers to focus on results. CAPHEINE is freely available at https://github.com/veg/CAPHEINE, along with a set of usage instructions.

About the journal
Genome Biology and Evolution (GBE) publishes leading original research at the interface between evolutionary biology and genomics. Papers considered for publication report novel evolutionary findings that concern natural genome diversity, population genomics, the structure, function, organisation and expression of genomes, comparative genomics, proteomics, and environmental genomic interactions. Major evolutionary insights from the fields of computational biology, structural biology, developmental biology, and cell biology are also considered, as are theoretical advances in the field of genome evolution. GBE’s scope embraces genome-wide evolutionary investigations at all taxonomic levels and for all forms of life — within populations or across domains. Its aims are to further the understanding of genomes in their evolutionary context and further the understanding of evolution from a genome-wide perspective.
