<i>wgatools</i>: an ultrafast toolkit for manipulating whole-genome alignments
<i>wgatools</i> supports diverse formats and can process, filter, and statistically evaluate alignments, perform alignment-based variant calling, and visualize alignments both locally and genome-wide. Built with Rust for efficiency and safe memory usage, it ensures fast performance and can handle large datasets consisting of hundreds of genomes. <i>wgatools</i> is published as free software under the MIT open-source license, and its source code is freely available at https://github.com/wjwei-handsome/wgatools.
