Description

Muscle is a program for creating multiple alignments of amino acid or nucleotide sequences. This particular module uses the super5 algorithm for very big alignments. It can permutate the guide tree according to a set of flags.

Input

Name (Type)
Description
Pattern

meta (map)

Groovy Map containing sample information
e.g. [ id:‘test’, single_end

]

fasta (file)

Input sequences for alignment must be in FASTA format

*.{fasta,fa,fna}

compress (boolean)

Flag representing whether the output MSA should be compressed. Set to true to enable/false to disable compression. Compression is done using pigz, and is multithreaded.
