Taxonomy Check ANI algorithm

[akunln]

Hello,

Is it possible to get a more detailed description of the ANI algorithm used to calculate the coverage and identity values for the taxonomy check? I tried to recreate it following the paragraph in the publication "Using average nucleotide identity to improve taxonomic assignments in prokaryotic genomes at the NCBI" but my results using the same type strains differ around 1-2%.
