HI-FEVER: a Nextflow pipeline for the high-throughput discovery and annotation of endogenous viral elements

The HI-FEVER source code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/PaleovirologyLab/hi-fever. Minimal reference databases, test datasets and benchmarking results are hosted on the Open Science Framework at https://osf.io/y357r. A detailed wiki is available at https://github.com/PaleovirologyLab/hi-fever/wiki, including usage instructions, parameter descriptions, and guidance on interpreting outputs. The pipeline includes a Pixi environment compatible with Conda and Apptainer containerization, and Docker images. HI-FEVER has been tested on Linux, Windows (via WSL2), and macOS (Intel and ARM64).
