MUSCLE5
High-accuracy alignment with PPP refinement
MUSCLE5 constructs high-accuracy multiple sequence alignments using ensemble partitioning and profile-profile alignment refinement, including PPP trees for large inputs. It improves accuracy over earlier MUSCLE versions on benchmark sets. Practical for alignment-critical tasks such as phylogenetics and homology modeling.
MUSCLE5 is live on MolPilot — paste a sequence and press Fold.
