Description

viralmsa website  

ViralMSA is a tool to perform reference-guided multiple sequence alignment of viral genomes. ViralMSA wraps around existing read mapping tools such as Minimap2, and as such, it can natively improve as methods of read mapping evolve. Importantly, this approach scales linearly with the number of sequences and can be massively parallelized. However, insertions with respect to the reference genome will be thrown away. This is fair for many viral analyses (e.g. phylogenetic inference, as insertions with respect to the reference likely lack phylogenetic information), but it may not be appropriate for all contexts.
