ADACT

ADACT (Alignment-free Dissimilarity Analysis & Comparison Tool) is a web-based tool for analysing & comparing dissimilarity among nucleotide and protein sequences, which are just strings in computer programming, using alignment-free techniques with the help of absent words such as Minimal Absent Word (MAW), and Relative Absent Word (RAW). The tool produces results faster than the traditional alignment-based alternatives which have higher computational complexity and is capable of comparing a wide range of sequences.
