v0.2.1 released - 2023-10-11

More consistent support for small contigs and sequences.

Major

  • --faster-small option included in dist and triangle.

Genomes (and contigs with the --i, --ri, --qi options) with less than 20 marker k-mers are not screened according to the -s option. This has always been the case, but not documented online. This is because screening is not as effective for very small genomes. This makes skani more sensitive for small sequences but can hamper performance on very large datasets with lots of small genomes/contigs.

This heuristic can now be disabled with the --faster-small option. This can make huge comparisons much faster if you don't care about sensitivity for very small genomes.

Minor

  • skani's version is now displayed properly
  • Added some error messages for degenerate cases (and more testing)
  • We found that the statically built binary can be a lot slower in certain cases. File i/o may be an issue for the binary version. A note is now added in the README.
