maf

We have hosted the application maf in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about maf:

DNA and RNA nucleotide sequences are an ubiquitous element of all biological cells and are serving on one hand as a comprehensive library of capabilities for the cells and on the other as an impressive regulatory system to control cellular function. The presented multi-alignment framework (MAF) should give researchers a simple sequence alignment platform as a functional template, flexible enough to adjust all steps but also comprehensive enough to join many different tools and custom parameter combinations if in-depth analysis is necessary or advised in e.g. low read rate situations. The platform enables researcher to apply multiple sequence aligners and further pre- and postprocessing tools in flexible combinations to analyze the subtle to remarkable differences between different sequence alignment and processing algorithms applied to the same data basis.
