Scientists have now sequenced more than two million bacterial and archaeal genomes, outstripping the ability to perform gold-standard searches for genes. LexicMap is a new tool that can scan millions of genomes for a gene in minutes, precisely locating mutations. This approach will enable many applications in epidemiology, ecology and evolution.
