Multiple sequence alignment with the Clustal series of programs
2003
Nucleic Acids Research
The Clustal series of programs are widely used in molecular biology for the multiple alignment of both nucleic acid and protein sequences and for preparing phylogenetic trees. ...
The popularity of the programs depends on a number of factors, including not only the accuracy of the results, but also the robustness, portability and user-friendliness of the programs. ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We thank the many Clustal users who have provided feedback, bug reports and feature requests. ...

Assessing the efficiency of multiple sequence alignment programs
2014
Algorithms for Molecular Biology
Conclusions: Based on the results presented herein, all four programs Probcons, T-Coffee, Probalign and MAFFT are well recommended for better accuracy of multiple sequence alignments. ...
Whenever sequences with large N/C terminal extensions were present in the BAliBASE suite, Probalign, MAFFT and also CLUSTAL OMEGA outperformed Probcons and T-Coffee. ...
We evaluated the alignment accuracy and computational cost of nine different multiple sequence alignment programs with the BAliBASE dataset and discuss the relevance of some implementations embedded in ...

Creation and Analysis of Protein Multiple Sequence Alignments
[chapter]
2002
Methods of biochemical analysis
The program uses a series of different pair-score matrices, biases the location of gaps, and allows you to realign a set of aligned sequences to refine the alignment. ...
With the exception of manual editing and visualization, CLUSTAL W contains most of the tools that are needed to build and refine a multiple sequence alignment. ...
This series of steps produces a ''clean alignment'' for inspection. ...

Fast, scalable generation of high-quality protein multiple sequence alignments using Clustal Omega
2014
Molecular Systems Biology
Multiple Sequence Alignments are fundamental to many sequence analysis methods. Most alignments are computed using the Progressive Alignment heuristic. ...
In this paper, we describe a new program called Clustal Omega which can align virtually any number of protein sequences quickly and that delivers accurate alignments. ...
The idea of EPA was suggested by KK. FS adapted HHalign to Clustal Omega; AW devised and adapted guide-tree construction routines. DD parallelised the code. ...

Bioinformatics
SNAP Combine merges multiple DNA sequence alignments into a single multiple alignment file. The resulting file can be the union or intersection of the input files. ...
We have added two software tools to our Suite of Nucleotide Analysis Programs (SNAP) for working with DNA sequences sampled from populations. ...
The conversion of combined PHYLIP files to CLUSTAL format is especially important when excluding strains from multiple alignments; this may result in suboptimal alignments with unnecessary alignment gaps ...
