Acknowledgements

I thank many people whose Open Access computer code has directly fueled this project or inspired me. Specifically, I thank Nate Landau whose shell-scripts repository provided a starting point for developing the PIrANHA package structure. I thank Nayoki Takebayashi, who wrote and freely provided some Perl scripts that I have incorporated into PIrANHA. I would also like to thank Kyle Bebak (e.g. notes) and Paul Hammant (e.g. switchjdk hacks).

I would also like to thank the Brigham Young University (ORC) Fulton Supercomputing Lab (FSL) (https://rc.byu.edu) and the Virginia Commonwealth University Center for High Performance Computing (CHiPC; https://chipc.vcu.edu) for providing generous computational resources used during the development of this software.

During this research, J.C.B. received stipend support from a Ciência Sem Fronteiras (Science Without Borders) postdoctoral fellowship from the Brazilian [Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico](CNPq; http://www.cnpq.br/web/guest/pagina-inicial) (CNPq; Processo 314724/2014-1) and from different U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) grants to PIs at Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Missouri–St. Louis. J.C.B. was also supported by Jacksonville State University School of Science (Department of Biology). Additional lab and computer space was supplied by The University of Alabama, during an internship in the Lozier Lab in the UA Department of Biological Sciences.
