VSEARCH uses an optimal global aligner (full dynamic programming Needleman-Wunsch), in contrast to USEARCH which by default uses a heuristic seed and extend aligner. This usually results in more accurate alignments and overall improved sensitivity (recall) with VSEARCH, especially for alignments with gaps. -VSEARCH binaries are provided for x86-64 systems running GNU/Linux or OS X (10.7 or higher). +VSEARCH binaries are provided for x86-64 systems running GNU/Linux or OS X (10.7 or higher). A beta version for 64-bit Windows (version 7 or higher) is also available. VSEARCH can directly read input query and database files that are compressed using gzip and bzip2 (.gz and .bz2) if the zlib and bzip2 libraries are available.
