MUSCLE is a program for creating multiple alignments of amino acid or
|
|
nucleotide sequences. A range of options is provided that give you the
|
|
choice of optimizing accuracy, speed, or some compromise between the
|
|
two.
|
|
|
|
Fast, accurate and easy to use
|
|
MUSCLE is one of the best-performing multiple alignment programs
|
|
according to published benchmark tests, with accuracy and speed that
|
|
are consistently better than CLUSTALW. MUSCLE can align hundreds of
|
|
sequences in seconds. Most users learn everything they need to know
|
|
about MUSCLE in a few minutes—only a handful of command-line options
|
|
are needed to perform common alignment tasks.
|
|
|
|
NOTE about the "-stable" option no longer being supported:
|
|
The "-stable" option had a bug, which sometimes resulted in incorrect
|
|
alignments to be produced. The author has created a python script to
|
|
be used as a workaround. The SlackBuild includes it and its usage is:
|
|
|
|
python muscle-stable.py input.fasta aligned.fasta > stable.fasta
|

Papers
|
|
There are two papers. The first (NAR) introduced the algorithm, and is
|
|
the primary citation if you use the program. The second (in BMC Bio-
|
|
informatics) gives more technical details, including descriptions of
|
|
non-default options.
