This tool is designed to create an enhanced suffix array, which is a data structure used in bioinformatics and computer science. It is useful for analyzing large amounts of DNA or other sequence data.
One of the program's standout features is that it is based on the implementation of Manzini's lightweight Deep-Shallow algorithm. This algorithm provides a speed-up that is especially useful for those who want to get results as quickly as possible. Additionally, mkESA is designed to make use of multiple CPUs/cores, which can be great for further improving its performance.
Another advantage of using mkESA is that it is fully compatible with the output generated by the mkvtree program in the Vmatch package written by Stefan Kurtz. This means that you can easily use the same data across both programs without any annoying compatibility issues.
Overall, mkESA is an excellent piece of software that is well worth considering if you need to construct enhanced suffix arrays from biological sequence data. Not only is it free of charge, but it also provides a range of useful features that make it a very powerful tool indeed.
