MULTICLUSTAL: a systematic method for surveying Clustal W alignment parameters.

Abstract: MULTICLUSTAL is a Perl script designed to automate the process of alignment parameter choice for Clustal W with the goal of generating high quality multiple sequence alignments.

“…This search method eliminates any biases or errors due to incomplete or improper sequence annotation. Homologous protein sequences were aligned using MultiClustal (Yuan et al 1999), which runs iterative ClustalW alignments in order to identify the optimal alignment parameters. In many cases, final multiple sequence alignments were adjusted manually.…”

“…Longer gaps are also known to be rare as compared with shorter ones, so alignments containing long gaps are favored less (Waterman et al 1976;Gu and Li 1995;Qian and Goldstein 2001;Miklos et al 2004). However, the exact value to be assigned to each parameter is difficult to determine, as it is expected to differ between closely and distantly related species and vary from species to species (Vingron and Waterman 1994;Wheeler 1995;Zhu et al 1998;Yuan et al 1999). Although progress has been made in establishing biological justification for the use of some scoring schemes, a comprehensive theoretical framework for gap and substitution penalties still eludes us (Gu and Li 1995;Miklos et al 2004).…”
