Instant sequence search
We’re pleased to announce that we’re launching a new feature on One Codex today: instant sequence search. With this new tool, simply enter a nucleotide sequence – whether a read from a FASTQ file or a section of a reference genome – and we’ll instantly compare it against our One Codex database. How it works Our instant classifier works by splitting up the input sequence into all overlapping k-mers and then comparing each against our reference database, using a k=31.
