1 This is a wrapper for ClustalW.
2
3 This tool allows you to align multiple sequences in Galaxy, using ClustalW2_ with mostly default options which should work reasonably well for many alignments.
4 DNA or protein sequences can be aligned. The input file must be a fasta file in your current history.
5
6 The alignments will appear as a clustal format file or optionally, as phylip or fasta format files in your history and a text log will be output to your history
7 showing the output Clustalw would normally write to standard output.
8
9 If Clustal format is chosen, you have the option of adding basepair counts to the output
10
11 A subsequence of the alignment can be output by setting the Output complete parameter to "Partial" and defining the offset and end of the subsequence to be output
12
13 **Installation**
14
15 Make sure clustalw2 is available on the path for all your nodes
16
17 Move the test data files to your galaxy root test-data
18 Move the xml file to a subdirectory of your tools folder (eg rgenetics/) and then add a line in your tool_conf.xml to point there.
19 Run
20 sh run_functional_tests.sh -id clustalw
21 to make sure the tests work
22
23 then restart Galaxy and you should be good to go.

29 An implementation of a Galaxy Clustal wrapper was written by Hans-Rudolf Hotz in an email on the developer list -
30 http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2010-November/003732.html
31
32 This version by Ross Lazarus for the rgenetics project, builds on Hans-Rudolf's code, adding some additional controls and a log file. It also
33 deals with stderr so Cluastalw2 writing there doesn't cause the job to error out. That's encoded in the tail of the command line.
34
35 **License**
36
37 Assuming Hans-Rudolf is ok with a new license for this derived work, this version of his wrapper is LGPL like other rgenetics artefacts
