MEGA: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis
|
|
|
|
Sophisticated and user-friendly software suite for analyzing DNA and
|
|
protein sequence data from species and populations. MEGA can be used
|
|
with either a graphical user interface, useful for visual exploration
|
|
of data and results or a command-line interface (useful for batch or
|
|
scripted execution).
|
|
|
|
MEGA X
|
|
MEGA X is the GUI graphical user interface of MEGA and can be run in
|
|
one of two modes. The first mode is the "Analyze mode" in which all
|
|
GUI tools in MEGA are enabled and visual results explorers are
|
|
available for tasks such as editing sequence alignments and viewing
|
|
phylogenies. This is the mode that most MEGA users are familiar with.
|
|
The second mode is the Prototype mode which is used solely for
|
|
generating MEGA Analysis Options (.mao) files that specify analysis
|
|
settings when using MEGA from a command shell (megacc). In the MEGA
|
|
main form, click the Prototype button and then specify the type of
|
|
input data that will be used for analysis.
|
|
|
|
MEGA CC
|
|
The command-line version of MEGA is 'megacc', that implements its core
|
|
analysis functions and is useful for iterative and automated execution.
|
|
The megacc command requires several options, including the path to a
|
|
.mao file and paths to input data file(s) to be analyzed. For example:
|
|
|
|
$ megacc -a myMaoFile.mao -d mySequenceAlignment.fas -o myOutput
|
|
|
|
Note 1.
|
|
Upon start, MEGA X will create an examples folder with the same name
|
|
in your user's home. This is a good place to start if you are not
|
|
familiar with MEGA.
|
|
|
|
Note 2.
|
|
This SlackBuild just repackages the binaries for Debian, provided from
|
|
upstream. The RedHat packages, currently, do not have 32bit version.
|
|
|
|
Note 3. IMPORTANT!
