MetRFinder is a standalone GUI-based bioinformatics tool developed in Python for rapid identification of heavy metal resistance genes from bacterial proteomes. The software integrates DIAMOND BLASTP with BacMet Experimental and BacMet Predicted databases to enable high-throughput screening of protein FASTA files. Users can analyze single or multiple bacterial isolates through an intuitive graphical interface without requiring command-line expertise. MetRFinder automatically filters hits based on user-defined sequence identity thresholds and E-value criteria, assigns gene annotations, and generates detailed Excel reports along with summary statistics. The modular architecture supports efficient batch processing, organized output management, and reproducible analyses.

Note:
A detailed User Tutorial PDF is included with the software package to guide installation, database selection, analysis execution, and result interpretation.
