Qudaich

Qudaich (queries and unique database alignment inferred by clustering homologs) is a software package for aligning sequences. Qudaich generates the pairwise local alignments between a query dataset against a database. The main design purpose of qudaich is to focus on datasets from next generation sequencing. These the datasets generally have hundreds of thousand sequences or more, and so, the input database should contain large number of sequences. Qudaich is flexible and its algorithmic structure imposes no restriction on the absolute limit of the acceptable read length, but the current version of qudaich allow read length <2000 bp. Qudaich can be used to align DNA, translated DNA and protein sequences.
