Dear all, I am happy to announce the availability of Jonathan Göke's alignment free comparison code in the SeqAn repository. There is an application called alf that allows the comparison of sequences based on word properties which is available from the SeqAn homepage: http://www.seqan.de/projects/alf.html The driving code behind this application is available as the SeqAn module alignment_free in extras. The full documentation of this module is available in the current trunk API documentation, for example see: http://docs.seqan.de/seqan/dev2/?i=Class.AFScoreThis marks the first external contribution of a whole module and app to SeqAn. We hope that its success will serve as a role model for future contributions.
If one of you wants to contribute sequence analysis code to SeqAn then do not hesitate to contact us!
Best Regards, Manuel
