AnchorWave: Sensitive alignment of genomes with high sequence diversity, extensive structural polymorphism, and whole-genome duplication.

Maps a transcriptome to its reference genome. 2) Extracts “anchor” coding sequences. 3) Searches for homologous sequences in the query genome. 4) Realigns the sequences between homologous anchors. The so-called comparison to LAST is actually a comparison with LAST + AxtChain, that is: it does not use last-split.
