Bioinformatics Tutorials (Lesson 4):Using ClustalW to do a multiple sequence alignment

In this tutorial i'll be showing how to use ClustalW program to do a multiple sequence alignment, for more informations about this topic or bioinformatics topic in general, please visit: http://bioinformatics-made-easy.blogspot.com/

hi friend...how i can do a phylogenetic tree with clustalw? @Htheshadow

@Slashgj88 , Hello, the tree that comes with ClustalW result page is not an actual phylogenetic tree, it's just a guide tree that helps ClustalW do the alignment, so be careful and don't use it as a phylogenetic tree, if you want to know how to generate a phylogenetic tree for your multiple sequence alignment, go to my video: Bioinformatics Tutorials (Lesson 9) Part 1:Using PHYLIP to build phylogenetic trees

why on earth I can't use this shit??? DO i HAVE TO PAY TO USE IT???

@tumpiliksye 1-Save your alingnment as a.aln file. (I prefer to use Muscle)

2-Open Jalview and RTFM

3-Open your saved alignment

4-Edit manually.

5-Saved as a new edited file

[tumpiliksye]

how can you identify a position on an alignment generated by ClustalW that can be improved manually ?

Hi sir, I'm a final year student of BS with majors in computer science. I'm interested in making my final year project in the field of bioinformatics. Can u give me some suggestions/ideas for the project?

Thank you, it helps just just i'm a new starter in bioinformatics, you knw it's kind of hard for me to understand. i will appreciate any suggestion to help. thanks.
