 Description: MEGAN alignment tool
- MALT - MEGAN alignment tool
+ MALT, an acronym for MEGAN alignment tool, is a sequence alignment and
+ analysis tool designed for processing high-throughput sequencing data,
+ especially in the context of metagenomics. It is an extension of MEGAN6,
+ the MEGenome Analyzer and is designed to provide the input for MEGAN6,
+ but can also be used independently of MEGAN6.
+ .
+ The core of the program is a sequence alignment engine that aligns DNA
+ or protein sequences to a DNA or protein reference database in either
+ BLASTN (DNA queries and DNA references), BLASTX (DNA queries and protein
+ references) or BLASTP (protein queries and protein references) mode. The
+ engine uses a banded-alignment algorithm with ane gap scores and BLOSUM
+ substitution matrices (in the case of protein alignments). The program
+ can compute both local alignments (Smith-Waterman) or semi-global
+ alignments (in which reads are aligned end-to-end into reference
+ sequences), the latter being more appropriate for aligning metagenomic
+ reads to references.
