Sequences File (or Alignment File for Bootstrap and Tree actions) (-infile) (format)



Phylip alignment output format (-output)

Toggle Slow/Fast pairwise alignments (-quicktree) ? Slow Fast



Advanced clustalw form

Some explanations about the options

Toggle Slow/Fast pairwise alignments (-quicktree)
slow: by dynamic programming (slow but accurate)
fast: method of Wilbur and Lipman (extremely fast but approximate)
Sequence format
The sequence will be automatically converted in the format needed for the program
providing you enter a sequence either:
in plain (raw) sequence format or in one of the following known formats:
IG,GenBank,NBRF,EMBL,GCG,DNAStrider,Fitch,fasta,Phylip,PIR,MSF,ASN,PAUP
You may enter in the text area a database entry code, or an accession number, in this form:

database:entry_name

or:

database:accession.
