Lambda¶
Description¶
Lambda is a local aligner optimized for many query sequences and searches in protein space. It is highly compatible to BLAST (bitscore and e-value statistics, tab seperated and verbose output formats) much faster than BLAST and many other comparable tools supports many other input and output formats, including standards-conformant .sam and .bam and many compression types.
