NCCD

Programs to compute the NCCD (Normalized Conditional Compression Distance) and perform phylogenomics (whole genome) on 48 bird species. It will use a state-of-the-art genomic compressor, based on a mixture of finite-context models, as a metric distance.

INSTALLATION

Simply run:

wget https://github.com/pratas/NCCD/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd NCCD-master

EXECUTION

Make shore you have at least 200 GB of space in the hard drive. Then, simply run:

. run.sh 

It will download and install GeCo (https://github.com/pratas/geco/), although it might be needed to install cmake. Then, it will download all the the 48 bird sequences and run the NCCD.

For other purposes, such as a simple information distance between two sequences (fileA and fileB), go to scripts:

cd scripts

and run

. NCCD.sh ../examples/fileA ../examples/fileB

It will calculate the NCCD on two synthetic sequence examples included in the system.
