AAI support #44

Open vinisalazar opened 5 years ago

Hi,

can I use FastANI to calculate AAI (Average Aminoacid Identity)? Is this supported?

Thank you,

V

Not yet; it's hard to compute AAI in an alignment-free manner for distant genomes. I would suggest using CompareM for computing AAI.

It would be nice to have AAI/ANI support in a single tool at some point in future.
