Description

       This manual page documents briefly the muscle command.

       muscle aligns protein sequences and is considered superior and faster than Clustal W.

Name

       muscle - Multiple Protein Sequence Alignment

Options

-ininputfile
           Path to FASTA formatted input file

       -outoutputfile
           Path to output file, FASTA formatted by default

       -diags
           Find diagonals (faster for similar sequences)

       -maxitersn
           Maximum number of iterations (integer, default 16)

       -maxhoursn
           Maximum time to iterate in hours (default no limit)

       -maxmbm
           Maximum memory to allocate in Mb (default 80% of RAM)

       -html
           Write output in HTML format (default FASTA)

       -msf
           Write output in MSF format (default FASTA)

       -clw
           Write output in Clustal W format (default FASTA)

       -clwstrict
           As -clw, with ´CLUSTAL W (1.81)´ header

       -log[a]logfile
           Log to file (append if -loga, overwrite if -log)

       -quiet
           Do not write progress messages to stderr

       -stable
           Output sequences in input order (default is -group)

       -group
           Group sequences by similarity (this is the default)

       -version
           Display version information and exit
