<i>A</i> 2 <i>G</i> <sup>2</sup> : A Python wrapper to perform very large alignments in semi-conserved regions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Summary Amplicons to Global Gene ( A 2 G 2 ) is a Python wrapper that uses MAFFT and an “Amplicon to Gene” strategy to align very large numbers of sequences while improving alignment accuracy. It is specially developed to deal with conserved genes, where traditional aligners introduce a significant amount of gaps. A 2 G 2 leverages the add sequences option of MAFFT to align the sequences to a global reference gene and a local reference region. Both of these references can be consensus sequences of trusted sources. Efficient parallelization of these tasks allows A 2 G 2 to align a very large number of sequences (> 500K) in a reasonable amount of time. A 2 G 2 can be imported in Python for easier integration with other software, or can be run via command line. Availability A 2 G 2 is implemented in Python 3 (3.6) and depends on MAFFT availability. Other package requirements can be found in the requirements.txt file at https://github.com/jshleap/A2G . A 2 G 2 is also available via PyPi ( https://pypi.org/project/A2G ). It is licensed under the LGPLv3. Supplementary information Supplementary material is available at github as jupyter notebook.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
