WMAF: One novel method for whole mitogenome alignment in fungi and its application in phylogenetic analysis

Key Points

• This new method enhances alignment accuracy in phylogenetic analysis of fungi, improving computational efficiency.
• A significant increase in alignment precision is observed, with an average accuracy improvement of 30%.
• Observational analysis of multiple fungal species demonstrates the method's robustness in diverse genomic contexts.
• This tool may enable more reliable phylogenetic inferences, but further validation across various taxa is necessary.
