  1. Qualitative comparison of different tools. Columns correspond to the tools, whereas rows correpond to different qualitative features of these tools. Acronyms “GS” and “GA” denote genome sequences and genome annotations, respectively. Acronym “WGA” stands for whole genome alignment. Both CAMBer and the GMV pipeline have partial support for multithreading computations since only BLAST computations can be executed in parallel.
