Feature Request: Add support for DIAMOND #5

Closed taltman closed 9 years ago

taltman commented 9 years ago

I've been using Huson's DIAMOND sequence similarity tool, and have been pleased with its performance. Please consider adding support.

Thanks for this suggestion! In future versions of the software I will consider adding it. Unfortunately it is not as simple as adding a wrapper for the program. I would need to rerun a series of extensive simulations using DIAMOND in order to find necessary parameters (optimal alignment parameters, proportionality constants, family weights).
