MAFFT Multiple Sequence Alignment Software Version 7: Improvements in Performance and Usability
Kazutaka Katoh,Daron M. Standley +1 more
TL;DR: This version of MAFFT has several new features, including options for adding unaligned sequences into an existing alignment, adjustment of direction in nucleotide alignment, constrained alignment and parallel processing, which were implemented after the previous major update.
Journal ArticleDOI
MAFFT: a novel method for rapid multiple sequence alignment based on fast Fourier transform
TL;DR: A simplified scoring system is proposed that performs well for reducing CPU time and increasing the accuracy of alignments even for sequences having large insertions or extensions as well as distantly related sequences of similar length.
Journal ArticleDOI
MAFFT version 5: improvement in accuracy of multiple sequence alignment
TL;DR: Improvement in accuracy was generally observed for most methods, but remarkably large for the new options of MAFFT proposed here, which showed higher accuracy than currently available methods including TCoffee version 2 and CLUSTAL W in benchmark tests consisting of alignments of >50 sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
MAFFT online service: Multiple sequence alignment, interactive sequence choice and visualization
TL;DR: The Web interface for recently developed options for large data and interactive usage to refine sequence data sets and MSAs for multiple sequence alignment are explained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent developments in the MAFFT multiple sequence alignment program
Kazutaka Katoh,Hiroyuki Toh +1 more
TL;DR: The initial version of the MAFFT program was developed in 2002 and was updated in 2007 with two new techniques: the PartTree algorithm and the Four-way consistency objective function, which improved the scalability of progressive alignment and the accuracy of ncRNA alignment.
