MTGIpick is a software developed intending to identify Genomic Islands. For this purpose, it performs a robust multi-scale statistical strategy:

IST-LFS： an iteration of small-scale t-test with large-scale feature selection to quantifying the compositional difference between a region and the ’native’ genome regions.

MSA： a multiscale segmentation algorithm to investigate the variability of genomic signals and to identify large, multi-window segments.

CG-MJSD: An boundary detection method based on CG-based segmentation and Markovian Jensen–Shannon divergence.
