ClipKIT in the browser

ClipKIT in the browser provides a web-based application for fast online trimming of multiple sequence alignments, enhancing accessibility for phylogenetics research.

Key Features:

• Multiple data type support: The application supports DNA, protein, and codon data types in FASTA format.
• Batch processing: The application can process one or many multiple sequence alignment files.
• Alignment visualization: Users can view the trimmed multiple sequence alignment using a web-based multiple sequence alignment viewer.
• Cloud-based trimming: The application uses cloud-based resources to efficiently trim alignments while retaining phylogenetically informative sites.

Scientific Applications:

• Phylogenetic signal improvement: Multiple sequence alignment trimming helps improve phylogenetic signal and reduce computational load.
• Phylogenetically informative site retention: ClipKIT trims multiple sequence alignments by retaining phylogenetically informative sites and removing all others.

Methodology:

ClipKIT trims multiple sequence alignments by retaining phylogenetically informative sites and removing all others.
