MAFFT MSA Generation
Rapidly generate multiple sequence alignments for protein sequences.

MAFFT and phmmmer are powerful tools for aligning multiple biological sequences, each optimized for specific tasks. MAFFT excels in aligning large-scale datasets quickly and accurately with parallel processing options, making it suitable for extensive alignments. phmmer complements this by identifying sequence homologs using profile HMMs, enabling accurate detection of related sequences within large databases.
