We are at the beginning of a genomic revolution in which all known species are planned to be sequenced. Accessing such data for comparative analyses is crucial in this new age of data-driven biology. Here, we introduce an improved version of DIAMOND that greatly exceeds previous search performances and harnesses supercomputing to perform tree-of-life scale protein alignments in hours, while matching the sensitivity of the gold standard BLASTP.
我们正处于基因组学革命的开端,计划对所有已知物种进行测序。在这个数据驱动的生物学新时代,获取这些数据进行比较分析至关重要。在这里,我们介绍了 DIAMOND 的一个改进版本,它大大超过了以前的搜索性能,并利用超级计算机在数小时内执行生命之树规模的蛋白质比对,同时匹配黄金标准 BLASTP 的灵敏度。
