Version 1.3.0 - Detection of New Allele Variants
Besides various improvements and changes, the minor release 1.3.0 introduces the crucial ability to detect and add new allele variants to the local scheme. The variant calling is now facilitated by the BLAT algorithm (BLAST-like Alignmet Tool) for whole genome assemblies. The previously used KMA (k-mer Alignment) algorithm will be deferred and reintroduced soon to allow allelic typing of raw reads. If none of the variants from the local cgMLST scheme is present in the bacterial isolate a potential new gene variant is evaluated by applying a robust variant validation program.
- Deferred KMA algorithm
- Introduced BLAT algorithm
- Revised allelic typing process
- Improved user feedback on typing results
- Introduced variant detection and validation logic
