Gblocks is a program written in ANSI C language that eliminates poorly
|
|
aligned positions and divergent regions of an alignment of DNA or
|
|
protein sequences. These positions may not be homologous or may have
|
|
been saturated by multiple substitutions and it is convenient to
|
|
eliminate them prior to phylogenetic analysis.
|
|
|
|
The use of a program such as Gblocks reduces the necessity of manually
|
|
editing multiple alignments, makes the automation of phylogenetic
|
|
analysis of large data sets feasible and, finally, facilitates the
|
|
reproduction of the alignments and subsequent phylogenetic analysis by
|
|
other researchers. Gblocks is very fast in processing alignments and
|
|
it is therefore highly suitable for large-scale phylogenetic analyses.

This just repackages the binaries provided from upstream.
