kmacs – the k Mismatch Average Common Substring Approach to Alignment-free Sequence Comparison

kmacs

:: DESCRIPTION

kmacs is a new approach to alignment-free sequence comparison. While most alignment-free methods rely on exact word matches, kmacs uses a distance measure based on inexact substing matches.
