Bioinformatics with Python Cookbook
By :

Before we can perform any phylogenetic analysis, we need to align our genetic and genomic data. Here, we will use MAFFT (http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/) to perform the genome analysis. The gene analysis will be performed using MUSCLE (http://www.drive5.com/muscle/).
To perform the genomic alignment, you will need to install MAFFT. Additionally, to perform the genic alignment, MUSCLE will be used. Also, we will use trimAl (http://trimal.cgenomics.org/) to remove spurious sequences and poorly aligned regions in an automated manner. All packages are available from Bioconda:
conda install –c bioconda mafft trimal muscle=3.8
As usual, this information is available in the corresponding Jupyter Notebook file at Chapter07/Alignment.py
. You will need to run the previous notebook beforehand, as it will generate the files that are required here. In this chapter, we will use Biopython.
