MMseqs2
Ultra-fast sequence search and clustering at scale
MMseqs2 performs ultra-fast protein and nucleotide sequence searching, clustering and multiple sequence alignment template search at database scale. It runs magnitudes faster than BLAST with comparable sensitivity through prefiltering and vectorized alignment. The engine behind large-scale MSAs and clustering for structure prediction.
