| Abstract |
The quantity of genomic data is expanding at an increasing rate. Tools for phylogenetic analysis which scale to the quantity of available data are required. To address this need, we present cognac, a user-friendly software package to rapidly generate concatenated gene alignments for phylogenetic analysis. We illustrate that cognac is able to rapidly identify phylogenetic marker genes using a data driven approach and efficiently generate concatenated gene alignments for very large genomic datasets. To benchmark our tool, we generated core gene alignments for eight unique genera of bacteria, including a dataset of over 11,000 genomes from the genus Escherichia producing an alignment with 1353 genes, which was constructed in less than 17 h. We demonstrate that cognac presents an efficient method for generating concatenated gene alignments for phylogenetic analysis. We have released cognac as an R package ( https://github.com/rdcrawford/cognac ) with customizable parameters for adaptation to diverse applications. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 May 2021.
All research outputs
#7,061,479
of 23,577,761 outputs
Outputs from BMC Bioinformatics
#2,639
of 7,418 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#191,893
of 550,491 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Bioinformatics
#64
of 148 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,761 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,418 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 550,491 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 148 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its contemporaries.
