CLUSTAL W Multiple Sequence Alignment Program
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ClustalW was written by Des Higgins (now at University College, Cork,
|
|
|
|
Ireland) (des@chah.ucc.ie), Julie Thompson (julie@IGBMC.u-strasbg.fr),
|
|
|
|
Toby Gibson, (Gibson@EMBL-Heidelberg.DE), and Franc'ois Jeanmougin
|
|
|
|
(pingouin@igbmc.u-strasbg.fr). It is a complete rewrite and upgrade of
|
|
|
|
the Clustal and ClustalV packages. which were developed by Des
|
|
|
|
Higgins. New features include the ability to detect read different
|
|
|
|
input formats (NBRF/PIR, Fasta, EMBL/Swissprot); align old alignments;
|
|
|
|
produce phylogenetic trees after alignment (Neighbor Joining trees
|
|
|
|
with a bootstrap option); write different alignment formats (Clustal,
|
|
|
|
NBRF/PIR, GCG, PHYLIP); full command line interface. It is described
|
|
|
|
in the following papers:
