Replace BMGE with ClipKit #67

@cmorganl

Description

@cmorganl

ClipKIT is a new MSA-trimming Python package. The authors indicate the trimmed MSAs generated by ClipKIT are more "desireable" (combined RF distance and bipartition supports) than those from competing tools, including BMGE.

Using ClipKit instead of BMGE would also clean up the installation process, by not having to package the BMGE.jar file with TreeSAPP. It could instead be installed using pip or conda.

  • Write ClipKit helper class for running facilitating trimming of a fasta file
  • Determine optimal parameters to use by comparing classification performance of ClipKIT (gappy, kpic and kpi modes) to BMGE and raw MSA. Evaluation dataset is EggNOG v5.0 against functional and phylogenetic marker reference packages.
  • Remove treesapp/sub_binaries/ directory, and support for BMGE.jar
  • Add ClipKit to requirements.txt and conda recipe
