fasta_to_phylip

fasta_to_phylip converts sequence alignments from FASTA to PHYLIP to prepare input for phylogenetic software.


Key Features:

  • Format Conversion: Converts sequence alignment files from FASTA to PHYLIP for compatibility with phylogenetic analysis tools.
  • Galaxy Integration: Integrates into the Galaxy platform and the Galaxy@Pasteur instance to operate within Galaxy workflows.
  • Execution Management: Supports execution via the Galaxy API and the Bioblend library to manage jobs on the Institut Pasteur cluster.

Scientific Applications:

  • Phylogenetic Analysis: Prepares sequence alignments in PHYLIP format as input for phylogenetic inference and evolutionary studies.
  • Metagenomic Studies: Enables format conversion within Galaxy workflows that include tools such as MetaGenSense and NGphylogeny.fr for metagenomic data analysis.

Methodology:

Converts FASTA alignments to PHYLIP and executes within the Galaxy framework using the Galaxy API or the Bioblend library to manage execution on the Institut Pasteur cluster.
