We developed a new pipeline for fast and accurate gene and allele recognition based on database preprocessing and parallel computing and performed better or comparable to the current popular tools. We believe that our approach can be useful for a wide range of projects, including bacterial subspecies classification, clinical diagnostics of bacterial infections, and epidemiological studies.
