KAST: Perform Alignment-free k-tuple frequency comparisons from sequences
Perform Alignment-free k-tuple frequency comparisons from sequences. This can be in the form of two input files (e.g. a reference and a query) or a single file for pairwise comparisons to be made.Tags: KAST, Perform, Alignment-free, k-tuple, frequency, comparisons, sequences

SMASH: An alignment-free tool to find and visualise rearrangements between pairs of DNA sequences
SMASH is a completely alignment-free method to find and visualise rearrangements between pairs of DNA sequences. The detection is based on relative compression, namely using a FCM, also known as Markov model, of high context order (typically 20). The method has been approached with a tool (a...Tags: SMASH, alignment-free, tool, find, visualise, rearrangements, pairs, DNA, sequences

FastANI: fast alignment-free computation of whole-genome Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI)
FastANI is developed for fast alignment-free computation of whole-genome Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI). ANI is defined as mean nucleotide identity of orthologous gene pairs shared between two microbial genomes. FastANI supports pairwise comparison of both complete and draft genome assemblies....Tags: fast, alignment-free, computation, whole-genome, Average, Nucleotide, Identity, ANI

FastGT: an alignment-free method for calling common SNVs directly from raw sequencing reads
FastGT is a program package for whole-genome genotyping of genome variants directly from raw sequencing reads. It is written in C and runs in Linux. FastGT uses a list of variant-specific k-mer pairs that are unique in human genome, counts the frequency of k-mers in sequencing data and predicts t...Tags: FastGT, alignment-free, method, calling, common, SNVs, directly, raw, sequencing, reads, alignment-free

MIKE: an ultrafast, assembly-, and alignment-free approach for phylogenetic tree construction
MIKE (MinHash-based k-mer algorithm). This algorithm is designed for the swift calculation of the Jaccard coefficient directly from raw sequencing reads and enables the construction of phylogenetic trees based on the resultant Jaccard coefficient. Simulation results highlight the superior sp...Tags: MIKE, ultrafast, assembly, alignment-free, approach, phylogenetic, tree, construction
