AltaiR: a C toolkit for alignment-free and temporal analysis of multi-FASTA data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Most viral genome sequences generated during the latest pandemic have presented new challenges for computational analysis. Analyzing millions of viral genomes in multi-FASTA format is computationally demanding, especially when using alignment-based methods. Most existing methods are not designed to handle such large datasets, often requiring the analysis to be divided into smaller parts to obtain results using available computational resources.

Findings

We introduce AltaiR, a toolkit for analyzing multiple sequences in multi-FASTA format using exclusively alignment-free methodologies. AltaiR enables the identification of singularity and similarity patterns within sequences and computes static and temporal dynamics without restrictions on the number or size of inpu
