The fragment classification package (FCP) provides a number of classifiers for assigning query fragments to their source genome:

Naive Bayes (NB): a composition-based, rank-specific classifier BLASTN: a homology-based, rank-specific classifier NB-BL: a hybrid, rank-specific classifier combining NB and BLASTN

Epsilon-NB (epsilon-NB): a composition-based, rank-flexible classifier Lowest common ancestor (LCA): a homology-based, rank-flexible classifier LCA + epsilon-NB: a hybrid, rank-flexible classifier combining LCA and epsilon-NB
