A greedy alignment-free distance estimator for phylogenetic inference

A greedy alignment-free distance estimator for phylogenetic inference

Abstract Background Alignment-free sequence comparison approaches have been garnering increasing interest in various data- and compute-intensive applications such as phylogenetic inference for large-scale sequences. While k-mer based methods are predominantly used in real applications, the average c...
