The newest version of MUMmer easily handles comparisons of large eukaryotic genomes at varying evolutionary distances, as demonstrated by applications to multiple genomes. Two new graphical viewing tools provide alternative ways to analyze genome alignments. The new system is the first version of MUMmer to be released as open-source software. This allows other developers to contribute to the code base and freely redistribute the code. The MUMmer sources are available at http://www.tigr.org/software/mummer.

最新版本的MUMmer能够轻松处理不同进化距离下大型真核生物基因组的比较，多个基因组的应用案例证明了这一点。两个新的图形化查看工具为分析基因组比对提供了不同的方式。新系统是作为开源软件发布的MUMmer的首个版本。这使得其他开发者能够为代码库做出贡献并自由重新分发代码。MUMmer的源代码可在http://www.tigr.org/software/mummer获取。
