Protein Alignment – Diamond

Context

Diamond is a software package for rapid comparison of protein or DNA sequence databases. It is based on double indexing of spaced seeds, which speeds up the process by several orders of magnitude compared with Blast, at the cost of reduced sensitivity.
Work in progress
