Edgar calls his new algorithm MUSCLE (multiple sequence comparison by log expectation). MUSCLE uses a log expectation score to control progressive alignment of the input amino acid sequences. This ...

Researchers developed a powerful new genome alignment method that has made the new studies possible, including the largest genome alignment ever achieved of more than 600 vertebrate genomes.

Important new studies of the evolution of birds and mammals relied on Progressive Cactus, a genome alignment tool developed at the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute.
