Section 12-4: Manual Creation of Sequence Alignments

[ Previous chapter ][ This chapter ][ Next chapter ] The comparison programs for pairwise comparison, such as gap must be run with the "out" option in order to generate files suitable for manual alignment:

% gap -out

See the section on pairwise comparison for details of presentation of the output. As described in the description of the lineup editor above , sequence files are loaded into 'lineup' with the get command. The manipulation of the .out files is straightforward.

NOTE: The manual creation of multiple sequence alignments might be considerably influenced by the user and is not recommended for publication or tree creation.
