Application Details

  • Description: MAFFT is used to create multiple sequence alignments of amino acid or nucleotide sequences.
  • Version: 2.2.9 (compiled with gcc)
  • Modules: mafft/7.397
  • Licence: Open source (Github)

Usage Examples

Manual execution

Input file? (fasta format)
@


Command line processing

[username@login01 ~]$ module add mafft/7.397
[username@login01 ~]$ mafft [arguments] input > output


An alias for an accurate option (L-INS-i) for an alignment of up to ∼200 sequences × ∼2,000 sites:

[username@login01 ~]$ mafft-linsi input > output


A fast option (FFT-NS-2) for a larger sequence alignment:

[username@login01 ~]$ mafft input > output


If not sure which option to use,

[username@login01 ~]$ mafft --auto input > output
