In this tutorial we want to look at several software tools that are widely used
at the moment.
E.g.: Programs for sequence comparison (pairwise and multiple alignments,
e.g. ClustalW, T-Coffee, Muscle), programs for phylogenetic reconstruction
(e.g. Phylip, Paup, SplitsTree), database search (e.g. BLAST),
visualization (e.g. CGViz), genome finishing, metagenomics (Megan) and
others. |
