Alignment methods

Progressive Cactus

Progressive-Cactus is a next-generation aligner that stores whole-genome alignments in a graph structure. Genomes can be added incrementally, which makes it scalable to hundreds of genomes. Further details on these methods can be found in Algorithms for genome multiple sequence alignment and Cactus graphs for genome comparisons.
