Alignment

Phylemon propose 4 alignment tools:

Note: check the compatibility of sequence file format with the alignment tool. The most common is FASTA format, it will be recognize by all tools here.

ClustalW

ClustalW is probably one of the most popular software for alignments. It is a general purpose multiple sequence alignment program for DNA or protein sequences. Most of the options available for users in the command line are here in clickable menus.

You can get more information here ClustalW Documentation

Muscle

Muscle, a computer program for creating multiple alignments of protein or DNA sequences. Elements of the algorithm include fast distance estimation using kmer counting, progressive alignment using a profile function – “the log-expectation score” – and refinement using tree-dependent restricted partitioning. The inclusion of an iterative alignment refining step, makes it more accurate than Clustal.

Lagan

Lagan for pairwise alignment of long genomics sequences at any evolutionary distance, performs alignment of sequences using recursive anchoring techniques by means of CHAOS algorithm that works well on distant, as well as related sequences.

M-Lagan

M-Lagan for multiple alignment of long genomics sequences at any evolutionary distance, using the same CHAOS algorithm

Exercises

let's try with example:
