The LAGAN Toolkit consists of four components: CHAOS, a pairwise local aligner optimized for non-coding, and other poorly conserved regions of the genome. LAGAN, a highly parametrizable pairwise global alignment using local alignments generated by CHAOS as anchors. Multi-LAGAN, a progressive pairwise algorithm to produce multiple sequence alignments. Shuffle-LAGAN, a novel glocal algorithm that is able to find rearrangements in a global alignment. Fast and sensitive multiple alignment of long genomic sequences. BMC Bioinformatics 2003 4:66. LAGAN and Multi-LAGAN: efficient tools for large-scale multiple alignment of genomic DNA. Genome Res 2003 13(4): 721-31. Glocal alignment: finding rearrangements during alignment.
