Major improvement

I am excited to release this much faster version of LTR_retriever. Its multithreading module has been slowing down the program and I finally get the chance to improve it. This part of the update will not change the program outcome since this is just a more efficient implementation of parallel computation.

With the test on the 14.5 Gb bread wheat genome, a total of 941,338 LTR raw candidates were processed and a non-redundant library was generated. This process only took 8 days 3 hours and 31 minutes for the current version (v2.7) with 10 threads (-threads 10), which would have required 3 weeks for the last version (v2.6).

Minor changes

  1. Classification of Copia elements was improved to be more sensitive (#51)
  2. Print out the program version number on screen.
  3. Improved genome and sequence reading.
