## Description

Infer non-local structural dependencies in genomic sequences. Genomic sequences are esentially compressed encodings of phenotypic information. This package provides a novel set of tools to extract long-range structural dependencies in genotypic data that define the phenotypic outcomes. The key capabilities implemented here are as follows: 

1. Compute the Quasinet (Q-net) given a database of nucleic acid sequences. The Q-net is a family of conditional inference trees that capture the predictability of each nucleotide position given the rest of the genome. The constructed Q-net for COVID-19 and Influenza A H1N1 HA 2008-9 is shown below.

COVID-19                   |  INFLUENZA

2. Compute a structure-aware evolution-adaptive notion of distance between genomes, which is demonstrably more biologically relevant compared to the standard edit distance. 

3. Draw samples in-silico that have a high probability of being biologically correct. For example, given a database of Influenza sequences, we can generate a new genomic sequence that has a high probability of being a valid influenza sequence.
