Diamond: accelerated BLAST compatible local sequence aligner#

DIAMOND is a sequence aligner for protein and translated DNA searches, designed for high performance analysis of big sequence data. The key features are:

  • Pairwise alignment of proteins and translated DNA at 100x-10,000x speed of BLAST.

  • Protein clustering of up to tens of billions of proteins

  • Frameshift alignments for long read analysis.

  • Low resource requirements and suitable for running on standard desktops or laptops.

  • Various output formats, including BLAST pairwise, tabular and XML, as well as taxonomic classification.
