Description
Concatenate several alignments (with the same sequence names) end-to-end.
Examples:
To select columns from an alignment:
% alignment-cat -c1-10,50-100,600- filename.fasta > result.fasta
% alignment-cat -c5-250/3 filename.fasta > first_codon_position.fasta
% alignment-cat -c6-250/3 filename.fasta > second_codon_position.fasta
To concatenate two or more alignments:
% alignment-cat filename1.fasta filename2.fasta > all.fasta
