ANI calculation

Open Amanda-Biocortex opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

Hi,

Could you help me to understand how QueryContainmentAni and MatchContainmentAni are calculated?

Given the use of exact kmer matches, I would assume that the ANI between a query kmer and a reference kmer would be 100%? Or is the ANI calculated between the contiguous set of kmers and the reference?

I believe 95% ANI threshold is standard- would this be the same for Sourmash ANI?

Many thanks, Amanda
