Summary (two sentences)
For many publicly available bacterial genomes the chromosome start is not set at the replication initiation protein. This is a burden for comparative genomics studies as the synteny between such genomes cannot readily be assessed. Here, we present ReCycled, a tool for identifying and resetting the start of circular bacterial chromosomes.
