v0.5.0

The profiling algorithm now uses a majority threshold, which is similar to the sequence classification method. This mainly improves lower-level profile estimates (e.g., species and genus).

There are also several minor bug fixes and changes.

v0.4.0

• Performance improvements for soft-LCA computation.
• Improved profiling postprocessing script for normalization. genome size correction and better reporting.
• Other minor changes here and there.

v0.3.0

New feature: alpha-mode for abundance profiling.
This is the version used for initial submission to Bioinformatics.

v0.2.0

Abundance profiling now has additional read-level normalization.
README is updated, and a detailed guide is added.

v0.1.0 (RECOMB-CG 2023)

The CONSULT-II version we used for the RECOMB-CG 23 paper. This version lacks cpp implementations of profiling and classification algorithms, as we used custom scripts for these tasks. We integrated them properly later (v.0.1.1).

v0.1.1

Implementations of classification and profiling algorithms are added. Both searching against a library and taxonomic identification are much faster and efficient. This version can be used to reproduce RECOMB-CG '23 results.
