Introducing EzAAI: a pipeline for high throughput calculations of prokaryotic average amino acid identity
Open accessAbstract
The average amino acid identity (AAI) is an index of pairwise genomic relatedness, and multiple studies have proposed its application in prokaryotic taxonomy and related disciplines. AAI demonstrates better resolution in elucidating taxonomic structure beyond the species rank when compared with average nucleotide identity (ANI), which is a standard criterion in species delineation. However, an efficient and easy-to-use computational tool for AAI calculation in large-scale taxonomic studies is not yet available. Here, we introduce a bioinformatic pipeline, named EzAAI, which allows for rapid and accurate AAI calculation in prokaryote sequences. The EzAAI tool is based on the MMSeqs2 program and computes AAI values almost identical to those generated by the standard BLAST algorithm with significant improvements in the speed of these evaluations. Our pipeline also provides a function for hierarchical clustering to create dendrograms, which is an essential part of any taxonomic study. EzAAI is available for download as a standalone JAVA program at http://leb.snu.ac.kr/ezaai.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
