    PhaMers: several open issues. I opened the one about bad FASTA header parsing. But even when I reformat my headers so that works, new errors pop up (which I didn't bother opening issues for since they were unresponsive to others). Also, output is written to current working directory which is annoying.

    VirusSeeker: no installation or running instructions on GitHub. They do have it on their lab website, but you have to edit source files to point to databases. Too much of a pain. So not sure how it works once that is done.
