Motivation: Genome sequencing projects sometimes uncover more organisms than expected, especially for complex and/or non-model organisms. It is therefore useful to develop software to identify mix of organisms from genome sequence assemblies.
Results: Here we present PhylOligo, a new package including tools to explore, identify and extract organism-specific sequences in a genome assembly using the analysis of their DNA compositional characteristics.
Availability and implementation: The tools are written in Python3 and R under the GPLv3 Licence and can be found at https://github.com/itsmeludo/Phyloligo/.
