BayesANT: Bayesian Nonparametric Taxonomic classifier for DNA barcoding sequences

BayesANT is a package for the taxonomic classification of DNA sequences. It trains a taxonomic classifier on a dataset of DNA barcodes and returns probabilistic predictions for query DNA sequences. BayesANT explicitly accounts for potential taxonomic novelty of the query sequences by relying on Bayesian nonparametric species sampling priors to model the taxonomic tree. The package works with both aligned and not aligned sequences.
