Spruceup

Description

spruceup website  

spruceup is a Python tool for biologists (bioinformaticians, phylogeneticists, evolutionary biologists) doing inference on phylogenomic sequence alignments. It allows discovery and removal of individual poorly aligned sequences or sequence fragments (alignment rows), which is different from the problem of poorly aligned sequence blocks (alignment columns) commonly addressed by alignment trimming software.
