Read-SpaM: assembly-free and alignment-free comparison of bacterial genomes with low sequencing coverage
Abstract Background In many fields of biomedical research, it is important to estimate phylogenetic distances between taxa based on low-coverage sequencing reads. Major applications are, for example, phylogeny reconstruction, species identification from small sequencing samples, or bacterial strain...
