IndelExtractor is a tool that creates alignment masks and an Indel's mask through an application.
IndelExtractor is a software application that facilitates molecular sequence alignment for molecular phylogenetic analysis. Typically, sequence alignment is the least considered aspect of the analysis, but IndelExtractor aims to change that by automating the task of identifying and removing indel regions. These regions contain positions that are difficult to align and are often manually edited or removed prior to analysis.
IndelExtractor is a powerful tool that utilizes Bioperl for handling many sequence and alignment input/output file formats. This capability enables both masked and unmasked positions to be saved to numerous file formats. Moreover, IndelExtractor can be used simply for sequence and alignment file format conversions due to its powerful file format handling abilities.
The software provides a range of auxiliary features such as the ability to align sequences using clustalw and to BLAST sequences against the NCBI databases. Users can access these options via the preferences menu.
One of the key features of IndelExtractor is the alignment masks that it generates. Originally designed for Indel identification and removal, these masks now include invariable, variable, and consensus masks. With a mask generated, sub-alignments of masked or unmasked positions can be saved to files or included as additional information in the more information-rich alignment formats.
IndelExtractor supports many sequence and alignment file formats that are recognized by file extensions. To ensure accurate file format detection, files must have a compatible file extension. This capability makes the software truly versatile when it comes to sequence and alignment file format handling.
Overall, IndelExtractor is an indispensable tool for molecular sequence alignment and analysis. Its ease of use and powerful features make it a favorite among bioinformaticians and molecular biologists alike.
