alfy: ALignment-Free local homologY

Mirjana Domazet-Lošo and Bernhard Haubold

alfy is a computer program for comparing one or more query DNA sequences to a set of subject sequences. For each query sequence the output consists of a list of intervals indicating the closest homologue among the set of subject sequences. A paper describing the underlying algorithm can be found here. The source code of alfy, documentation, and example data has moved to here.
