ML Alignment Phylogenomics Pan-Genome

Machine Learning-Enhanced Genomic Comparison

Traditional comparative genomics relies on heuristic alignments that struggle with divergent sequences and large-scale genomic rearrangements. Our AI-powered platform combines deep learning models with proven bioinformatics algorithms to deliver superior accuracy across diverse evolutionary distances.

  • Transformer-based architectures for homology detection
  • Graph-based clustering for ortholog identification
  • ML-optimized multiple sequence alignment
  • Pan-genome analysis with core/accessory gene classification
  • Synteny detection and chromosomal rearrangement analysis
  • Phylogenetic tree reconstruction with uncertainty quantification

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We accept all standard formats including FASTA, GenBank (GBK), EMBL, GFF3, and raw sequencing reads (FASTQ). Our pipeline can also work directly with NCBI accession numbers for public genomes.

Our platform scales from pairwise comparisons to thousands of genomes. Standard analyses typically include 10-100 genomes, while large-scale pan-genome studies can encompass hundreds or thousands of strains.

We support all organisms from bacteria to eukaryotes. Our pre-built databases include major model organisms, and we can create custom references for any non-model organism.

Deliverables include aligned sequences, phylogenetic trees (Newick/NEXUS), synteny maps, gene presence/absence matrices, ortholog assignments, statistical summaries, and publication-ready figures.

Yes, we routinely work with draft genomes at various assembly levels. Our ML models are trained to handle fragmented assemblies and can provide quality assessments of genome completeness.
