Re: [Mauve-users] progressiveMauve works on DNA or AA?

[Aaron D. <aar...@ut...>]

Hi Uwe, this information might only be implicit in the documentation.
Despite its use of MUSCLE, progressiveMauve only computes DNA-level
genome alignments. I am not aware of any software to compute protein-
level genome alignments (though it's been a while since I looked
around), possibly because the concept of a positional homology genome
alignment becomes less useful at the high levels of evolutionary
divergence that would require a switch to amino acid alignment. For
pairwise genome alignment there is a protein mode in MUMmer. For
multiple genomes you might look at gene family clustering approaches.
