CoreAligner
:: DESCRIPTION
CoreAligner is a software for identifying the core structure of related genomes, which is defined as a set of sufficiently long segments in which gene orders are conserved among multiple genomes so that they are likely to have been inherited mainly through vertical transfer. Using a dynamic programming based algorithm, CoreAligner finds the order of pre-identified orthologous groups (OGs) that retains to the greatest possible extent the conserved gene orders.
