Adding TideHunter to tral

[adoe21]

I'm looking to see if I can add TideHunter as one of the tandem repeat parsers tral has. The issue tracker link on the installation page seems to be deprecated. Any info on how I may be able to do this would be very helpful?

You can indeed! I'm not very familiar with TideHunter yet. A good starting point to implement it in tral is to take a look at tral/sequence. I'll put it on the list of enhancements for future development. Feel free to create pull requests and contribute to TRAL!

@adoe21 This is the current issue tracker.

If you're able to add code that would be great! Add a subclass of TRDetector in repeat_detection_run.py. If TideHunter has a custom output format, you might need to write a parser in repeat_detection_io.py as well to construct RepeatRegion objects.
