Anchorwave vRC3

AnchorWave (Anchored Wavefront Alignment)

AnchorWave (Anchored Wavefront Alignment) identifies collinear regions via conserved anchors (full-length CDS and full-length exon have been implemented currently) and breaks collinear regions into shorter fragments, i.e., anchor and inter-anchor intervals. By performing sensitive sequence alignment for each shorter interval via a 2-piece affine gap cost strategy and merging them together, AnchorWave generates a whole-genome alignment for each collinear block. AnchorWave implements commands to guide collinear block identification with or without chromosomal rearrangements and provides options to use known polyploidy levels or whole-genome duplications to inform alignment.
