An alignment-free heuristic for fast sequence comparisons with applications to phylogeny reconstruction

Abstract Background Alignment-free methods for sequence comparisons have become popular in many bioinformatics applications, specifically in the estimation of sequence similarity measures to construct phylogenetic trees. Recently, the average common substring measure, ACS, and its k-mismatch counter...
