LexicMap: efficient sequence alignment against millions of prokaryotic genomes

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08.30.610459v1

'We introduce LexicMap, a nucleotide sequence alignment tool for efficiently querying moderate length sequences (> 500 bp) such as a gene, plasmid or long read against up to millions of prokaryotic genomes. '

Should be good for amplicons and #eDNA too???
