title = "FLAK: Ultra-fast fuzzy whole genome alignment",
abstract = "The advent of high throughput DNA sequencing has lead to the availability of a rapidly growing number of genomes of complete or draft quality. Whole genome alignment has consequently become an increasingly important field in bioinformatics. This paper describes a novel approach for comparing two whole genomes based on fuzzy logic. Benchmarks against pre-eminent whole genome alignment systems have demonstrated that the fuzzy approach outperforms existing systems in the context of alignment times and enables analyses that are not possible with other approaches.",
