-PRANK: Probabilistic Alignment Kit
-
-PRANK is a probabilistic multiple alignment program for DNA, codon and
-amino-acid sequences. It is based on a novel algorithm that treats
-insertions correctly and avoids over-estimation of the number of
-deletion events.
-
-In addition, PRANK borrows ideas from maximum likelihood (ML) methods
-used in phylogenetics and correctly takes into account the evolutionary
-distances between sequences.
-
-Lastly, PRANK allows for defining a potential structure for sequences to
-be aligned and then, simultaneously with the alignment, predicts the
-locations of structural units in the sequences.
-
-NOTE!
-The dependencies listed in the REQUIRED field are not needed for
-building PRANK. They are, however, highly recommended for the complete
-functionality of the program:
-
-1) Progressive alignment requires a guide tree. If no tree is provided,
-PRANK constructs one by calling MAFFT to make a quick alignment and
-infers an NJ tree from the evolutionary distances based on that.
-
-2) The standard PRANK algorithm is based on an exhaustive search of the
-best pairwise solution. PRANK uses Exonerate to anchor the pairwise
-alignments and thus speed up the process.
-
-3) To improve the ancestral reconstruction, PRANK uses BppAncestor from
-the BppSuite.
-
-NOTE 2: This will not build on a 32bit system.
