T_Coffee is a multiple sequence alignment package. The version included with this distribution of Rocks is v8.14
T-coffee is used for standard alignments and alignment combinations. It is installed at /opt/bio/tcoffee/ on the Rocks distribution. To use T-Coffee, just type t_coffee at the command line for a list of all possible parameters that can be used. T-coffee recognizes formats such as fasta, clustalw, blast, etc. Example input files are available at /opt/bio/tcoffee/example/
A simple sequence alignment example is shown below about. It is run against a sample fasta file present in the example directory. Parts of the output are deleted for the sake of brevity. Where missing, output is substituted by ellipses (.....)
