MAFFT

MAFFT is a multiple sequence alignment program for amino acid or nucleotide sequences. It accepts input files in FASTA format, and automatically recognizes whether an input sequence is protein or DNA.

Installed on the opteron cluster.

Usage for Version 3.85

It is convenient to use /biomed/lib/examples/.login.fixed for this and other sequence analysis packages.

Create a job script that contains a line such as:

/home/biomed/bin/mafft [options] inputfile > outputfile

The MAFFT website lists the available options.
