MAFFT Multiple Sequence Alignments
MAFFT Multiple Sequence Alignments
Katoh, K., K. Kuma, K., Toh, H., and Miyata, T. (2005) "MAFFT version
5: improvement in accuracy of multiple sequence alignment." Nucleic Acids
Research, 33 511-518
MAFFT is a program for the multiple alignment of nucleic acid or protein
sequences, and is available from the Web
Service→Alignment→MAFFT Multiple Sequence
Alignment entry in the web services menu.
MAFFT utilizes algorithms for spectral correlation to identify
homologous regions in a fast-fourier transform representation of each
sequence. The Jalview web service runs MAFFT using the
'--auto' option which picks optimal parameters
for the set of sequences to be aligned.
