CAFE

CAFE

CAFE is a software tool using alignment-free methods to compute distance or dissimilarity by k-mer counts, background-adjusted k-mer counts, or measure based on presence/absence of k-mers, and 25 additional measures. CAFE visualization includes heatmaps, two-dimensional projection by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA), dendrograms of a network, and sequence clustering by the neighbor-joining algorithm.
