Users that are interested in more advanced features like using secondary structures for profile alignment can use the " Using ClustalX for multiple sequence" tutorial created by by Jarno Tuimala. (PRANK can also back-translate protein alignments produced with external alignment software see below for examples.) In addition to translated alignment, PRANK can also align codon sequences using a codon substitution matrix (Kosiol, Holmes and Goldman, 2007). On top of that, users who are more comfortable performing all aforementioned tasks from a Terminal window, can download and use ClustalW. In addition, ClustalX enables its users to choose between existing color sets or load a color parameter file with just a mouse click. In order to use ClustalX, you have to place each sequence in one file and arrange them one after another.ĬlustalX's intuitive interface enables you to perform profile alignments, phylogenetic trees and multiple alignment in just a few easy steps.įrom the Edit menu you can easily search for a String, remove gaps, clear sequences or range selections and switch between profiles.īy accessing the Alignment menu, you can easily align the sequences to the desired profile and open the Output Format Option window.ĬlustalX also allows you to export to the NEXUS, Clustral, GDE, GCG/MSF and NBRF/PIR format. was present in the first block of the fileĬlustalX is a streamlined OS X utility that provides the necessary tools to align DNA or protein sequences from within a user-friendly interface or a Terminal window.ĬlustalX comes with support for numerous input formats, such as GDE, FASTA, NBRF/PIR, GCG9 RSF, Clustal, GCC/MSF and EMBL/Swiss-Prot. If you notice a misalignment of vertical lines or horizontal banding, you may be able to solve this problem from your computer using the Print Head Alignment utility in your printer software.

Fixed bug 196 "clustalx: user feedback about use of secondary structure printed to console" - secondary structure is now used if specified in Alignment -> Alignment Parameters -> Secondary Structure Parameters UserParameters->getGui() should be used when ClustalW code needs to know if a function has been called from ClustalX.
