Covidex
Ultra fast and accurate subtyping tool of viral genomes.
...Subtypification is relevant for studies on virus epidemiology, evolution and pathogenesis. In this sense, Covidex was developed as an open source alignment-free machine learning subtyping tool. It is a shiny app that allows fast and accurate classification of viral genomes in pre-defined clusters. If more than 1000 sequences are loaded the tool will run in multithread mode. Capable of classifying 16000 genome sequences in less than a minute (AMD Ryzen 7 1700 8-core Processor 3 GHz)
For a Web-based version of the app (only for small datasets: 100 seqs max) please go to
