DESCRIPTION
- MAFFT is a multiple sequence alignment program for unix-like operating systems. It offers a range of multiple alignment methods.
Accuracy-oriented methods:
- •L-INS-i (probably most accurate; recommended for <200 sequences; iterative refinement method incorporating local pairwise alignment information):
-
- mafft --localpair --maxiterate 1000 input [> output]
- linsi input [> output]
- •G-INS-i (suitable for sequences of similar lengths; recommended for <200 sequences; iterative refinement method incorporating global pairwise alignment information):
-
- mafft --globalpair --maxiterate 1000 input [> output]
- ginsi input [> output]
- •E-INS-i (suitable for sequences containing large unalignable regions; recommended for <200 sequences):
-
- mafft --ep 0 --genafpair --maxiterate 1000 input [> output]
- einsi input [> output]
- For E-INS-i, the --ep 0 option is recommended to allow large gaps.
Speed-oriented methods:
- •FFT-NS-i (iterative refinement method; two cycles only):
-
- mafft --retree 2 --maxiterate 2 input [> output]
- fftnsi input [> output]
- •FFT-NS-i (iterative refinement method; max. 1000 iterations):
-
- mafft --retree 2 --maxiterate 1000 input [> output]
- •FFT-NS-2 (fast; progressive method):
-
- mafft --retree 2 --maxiterate 0 input [> output]
- fftns input [> output]
- •FFT-NS-1 (very fast; recommended for >2000 sequences; progressive method with a rough guide tree):
-
- mafft --retree 1 --maxiterate 0 input [> output]
- •NW-NS-i (iterative refinement method without FFT approximation; two cycles only):
-
- mafft --retree 2 --maxiterate 2 --nofft input [> output]
- nwnsi input [> output]
- •NW-NS-2 (fast; progressive method without the FFT approximation):
-
- mafft --retree 2 --maxiterate 0 --nofft input [> output]
- nwns input [> output]
- •NW-NS-PartTree-1 (recommended for ~10,000 to ~50,000 sequences; progressive method with the PartTree algorithm):
-
- mafft --retree 1 --maxiterate 0 --nofft --parttree input [> output]
Group-to-group alignments
-
- mafft-profile group1 group2 [> output]
- or:
mafft --maxiterate 1000 --seed group1 --seed group2 /dev/null [> output]
- mafft-profile group1 group2 [> output]
OPTIONS
Algorithm
--auto-
- Automatically selects an appropriate strategy from L-INS-i, FFT-NS-i and FFT-NS-2, according to data size. Default: off (always FFT-NS-2)
--6merpair
- Distance is calculated based on the number of shared 6mers. Default: on
--globalpair
- All pairwise alignments are computed with the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm. More accurate but slower than --6merpair. Suitable for a set of globally alignable sequences. Applicable to up to ~200 sequences. A combination with --maxiterate 1000 is recommended (G-INS-i). Default: off (6mer distance is used)
--localpair
- All pairwise alignments are computed with the Smith-Waterman algorithm. More accurate but slower than --6merpair. Suitable for a set of locally alignable sequences. Applicable to up to ~200 sequences. A combination with --maxiterate 1000 is recommended (L-INS-i). Default: off (6mer distance is used)
--genafpair
- All pairwise alignments are computed with a local algorithm with the generalized affine gap cost (Altschul 1998). More accurate but slower than --6merpair. Suitable when large internal gaps are expected. Applicable to up to ~200 sequences. A combination with --maxiterate 1000 is recommended (E-INS-i). Default: off (6mer distance is used)
--fastapair
- All pairwise alignments are computed with FASTA (Pearson and Lipman 1988). FASTA is required. Default: off (6mer distance is used)
--weighti number
- Weighting factor for the consistency term calculated from pairwise alignments. Valid when either of --blobalpair, --localpair, --genafpair, --fastapair or --blastpair is selected. Default: 2.7
--retree number
- Guide tree is built number times in the progressive stage. Valid with 6mer distance. Default: 2
--maxiterate number
- number cycles of iterative refinement are performed. Default: 0
--fft
- Use FFT approximation in group-to-group alignment. Default: on
--nofft
- Do not use FFT approximation in group-to-group alignment. Default: off
--noscore
- Alignment score is not checked in the iterative refinement stage. Default: off (score is checked)
--memsave
- Use the Myers-Miller (1988) algorithm. Default: automatically turned on when the alignment length exceeds 10,000 (aa/nt).
--parttree
- Use a fast tree-building method (PartTree, Katoh and Toh 2007) with the 6mer distance. Recommended for a large number (> ~10,000) of sequences are input. Default: off
--dpparttree
- The PartTree algorithm is used with distances based on DP. Slightly more accurate and slower than --parttree. Recommended for a large number (> ~10,000) of sequences are input. Default: off
--fastaparttree
- The PartTree algorithm is used with distances based on FASTA. Slightly more accurate and slower than --parttree. Recommended for a large number (> ~10,000) of sequences are input. FASTA is required. Default: off
--partsize number
- The number of partitions in the PartTree algorithm. Default: 50
--groupsize number
- Do not make alignment larger than number sequences. Valid only with the --*parttree options. Default: the number of input sequences
Parameter
--op number-
- Gap opening penalty at group-to-group alignment. Default: 1.53
--ep number
- Offset value, which works like gap extension penalty, for group-to-group alignment. Deafult: 0.123
--lop number
- Gap opening penalty at local pairwise alignment. Valid when the --localpair or --genafpair option is selected. Default: -2.00
--lep number
- Offset value at local pairwise alignment. Valid when the --localpair or --genafpair option is selected. Default: 0.1
--lexp number

--LEXP number
- Gap extension penalty to skip the alignment. Valid when the --genafpair option is selected. Default: 0.00
--bl number
- BLOSUM number matrix (Henikoff and Henikoff 1992) is used. number=30, 45, 62 or 80. Default: 62
--jtt number
- JTT PAM number (Jones et al. 1992) matrix is used. number>0. Default: BLOSUM62
--tm number
- Transmembrane PAM number (Jones et al. 1994) matrix is used. number>0. Default: BLOSUM62
--aamatrix matrixfile
- Use a user-defined AA scoring matrix. The format of matrixfile is the same to that of BLAST. Ignored when nucleotide sequences are input. Default: BLOSUM62
--fmodel
- Incorporate the AA/nuc composition information into the scoring matrix. Deafult: off
Output
--clustalout-
- Output format: clustal format. Default: off (fasta format)
--inputorder
- Output order: same as input. Default: on
--reorder
- Output order: aligned. Default: off (inputorder)
--treeout
- Guide tree is output to the input.tree file. Default: off
--quiet
- Do not report progress. Default: off
Input
--nuc-
- Assume the sequences are nucleotide. Deafult: auto
--amino
- Assume the sequences are amino acid. Deafult: auto
--seed alignment1 [--seed alignment2 --seed alignment3 ...]
- Seed alignments given in alignment_n (fasta format) are aligned with sequences in input. The alignment within every seed is preserved.
FILES
Mafft stores the input sequences and other files in a temporary directory, which by default is located in /tmp.
ENVIONMENT
MAFFT_BINARIES-
- Indicates the location of the binary files used by mafft. By default, they are searched in /usr/local/lib/mafft, but on Debian systems, they are searched in /usr/lib/mafft.
FASTA_4_MAFFT
- This variable can be set to indicate to mafft the location to the fasta34 program if it is not in the PATH.
