MUMmer is a versatile alignment tool for DNA and protein sequences.

MUMmer is a system for rapidly aligning DNA and protein sequences. The nucmer aligner in the current version (release 4.x) can align two mammalian genomes in about 3 hours on a typical 32+ core workstation with 64+Gb RAM; smaller genomes such as bacteria or small eukaryotes are aligned in seconds or minutes. The promer utility generates alignments based upon the six-frame translations of both input sequences. promer permits the alignment of genomes for which the proteins are similar but the DNA sequence is too divergent to detect similarity. See the nucmer and promer readme files in the "docs/" subdirectory for more details. MUMmer is open source, and we ask that you cite our most recent paper in any publications that use this system:
