MUltiple Sequence Comparison by Log-Expectation
MUSCLE is multiple alignment software for protein and nucleotide sequences. The name stands for multiple sequence comparison by log-expectation.
A range of options is provided that give you the choice of optimizing accuracy, speed, or some compromise between the two. Default parameters are those that give the best average accuracy in the published tests. MUSCLE can achieve both better average accuracy and better speed than CLUSTALW or T-Coffee, depending on the chosen options.
