40 5: improvement in accuracy of multiple sequence alignment." Nucleic Acids
41 Research, 33 511-518</p>
42 <p>MAFFT is a program for the multiple alignment of nucleic acid or protein
43 sequences, and is available from the <strong>Web
44 Service→Alignment→MAFFT Multiple Sequence
45 Alignment</strong> entry in the web services menu.</p>
46 <p>MAFFT utilizes algorithms for spectral correlation to identify
47 homologous regions in a fast-fourier transform representation of each
48 sequence. The Jalview web service runs MAFFT using the
49 '--auto' option which picks optimal parameters
50 for the set of sequences to be aligned.</p>
