Abstract:

Checksum algorithms are used in biological databases for integrity check and identification purposes. CRC64 is the only checksum algorithm already included in Biopython. This work proposes two new implementation of known algorithms (GCG Checksum and SEGUID). There is also an application based on SEGUID: Looking for redundancy between two FASTA files full of protein sequences based only in sequence information, by comparing the SEGUIDs of both files.
The code is shown in the manuscript and may be available at Biopython.org.
