Description

Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) plays an important role in evolutionary analyses of biological sequences. MAFFT is an MSA program, first released in 2002, because of its high performance MAFFT is becoming popular in recent years.  Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) plays an important role in evolutionary analyses of biological sequences. MAFFT is an MSA program, first released in 2002, because of its high performance MAFFT is becoming popular in recent years. This version of MAFFT supports RNA structural alignments as well as protein/DNA/RNA sequence alignments.
