Microbial Species Comparison

using pairwise percent identities

The Center for Bioinformatics at The Wadsworth Center

Overview

A common question in comparative genomics is: How closely related are
a group of organisms? One way to address this question is by looking
at the distribution of pairwise percent identities between orthologous
sequences. We present a simple tool for generating a table of pairwise
percent identities for a group of two or more species. An additional
program is provided for analyzing the resulting data table and for
exporting the data to other formats.

Please reference the following publication:

Conlan and McCue. Software to perform automated comparisons of pair-wise
percent identities for microbial species. Biotechniques 40(5):580 (2006).
