With the increased efficiency of sequencing methods, large quantities of genomic information are quickly becoming available. To make use of this, methods are needed that can discern useful information from these vast data quantities.

This prevents rain and snowmelt from infiltrating into the ground. As a consequence of this and the increase of precipitation due to climate change, larger amounts of contaminated storm water can pass directly to the nearest recipient. The increase of water to lakes and streams can cause
