1 Installation
2 ------------
3
4 1) Download the Mafft software from http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/
5 (see license terms: http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/license.txt)
6
7 2) Install the Mafft application as standalone on your Galaxy computer. The installation procedure as root (http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/source.html) or as non-root user (http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/installation_without_root.html) can be found on the Mafft website.
8
9 3) Add the wrapper file "mafft.xml" to Galaxy (reference: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Add%20Tool%20Tutorial).
10
11 - Make a directory "mafft" under {GALAXY_ROOT_DIR}/tools and copy the wrapper file "mafft.xml" to this directory.
12 - Make GALAXY aware of the new tool: GALAXY knows about installed tools (and also what to display on the left pane) from the file {GALAXY_ROOT_DIR}/tool_conf.xml
13 Use a text editor to add a line for the mafft.xml wrapper to e.g.the Multiple Alignments section.
14
15 <label text="My Tools" id="My tools" />
16 <section name="Multiple Alignments" id="multiple_alignments" >
17 <tool file="mafft/mafft.xml" />
18 </section>
19
20 - start up GALAXY again, open it in the web browser and test

23 MAFFT functionality
24 -------------------
25
26 MAFFT is a multiple sequence alignment program for proteins and nucleotides using fast fourier transform.
27
28 If no advanced options are selected, the following default paramters will be used:
29 - for proteins: mafft-FFT-NS-2 method (Fast, progressive method), BLOSUM62 substitution matrix, gap opening penalty 1.53 and offset value 0.00
30 - for nucleic acids: mafft-FFT-NS-2 method (Fast, progressive method), 200PAM/kappa=2 substitution matrix, gap opening penalty 1.53 and offset value 0.00
31
32 MAFFT offers a range of multiple alignment methods, classified into three types, (a) the progressive method, (b) the iterative refinement method with the WSP score, and (c) the iterative refinment method using both the WSP and consistency scores. In general, there is a tradeoff between speed and accuracy. The order of speed is a > b > c, whereas the order of accuracy is a < b < c.
33 - Auto (FFT-NS-1, FFT-NS-2, FFT-NS-i or L-INS-i; depends on data size) (a,b or c)
34 - FFT-NS-1 (Very fast, recommended for > 2.000 sequences; progressive method) (a)
35 - FFT-NS-2 (Fast, progressive method) (DEFAULT if no advanced options) (a)
36 - medium (Iterative refinement method, two cycles only) (b)
37 - FFT-NS-i (Slow, iterative refinement method) (b)
38 - E-INS-I (Very slow, recommended for < 2 sequences with multiple conserved domains and long gaps) (c)
39 - L-INS-I (Very slow, recommended for < 200 sequences whith one conserved domain and long gaps) (c)
40 - G-INS-I (Very slow, recommended for < 200 sequences with global homology) (c)
41 - NW-NS-PartTree-1 (recommended for ~10,000 to ~50,000 sequences; progressive method with the PartTree algorithm) (a)
42
43 For nucleotides only, there are still additional alignment methods:
44 - Q-INS-I (Extremely slow; secondary structure of RNA is considered; recommended for a global alignment of highly divergent ncRNAs with < 200 sequences, < 1.000 nucleotides)
45 - X-INS-I (Applicable to up to ~50 sequences to ~1,000 nucleotides. Multiple structural alignment by combining pairwise structural alignments given by an external program.)
46
47 Depending on the nature of the sequences in the input file, the advanced options change. When "protein input" is selected from first drop down list, BLOSUM or JTT substitution matrices can be chosen. The selection "nucleic acid input" only offers substitution matrices of the type PAM / kappa = x. For nucleic acids, two extra strategies are available compared to proteins, namely X-INS-i and Q-INS-i.
