It has been proved to be more accurate (in certain conditions) than sequence-based approaches. That is, for prokaryotes (Bacteria & Archea). +I've been developing Syntin Deed as part of a study, which undermines to find out whether SI is also as good for eukaryotes (All other organisms) genetic comparisons. + +# How to use? +Download the program to your desktop and run "run.bat". +You should see something like this: +![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/73846269/204306416-6f4aa33d-788f-4668-8efd-a5bb5990e801.png) + +"Covnert" and "Analyze" are essentials.
