Howdy, Lastz is available on galaxy but configured for mapping of Roche 454 short reads. It's not appropriate to use that interface for whole genome alignment. You probably already know this, but lastz can be found at the Miller Lab webpage, http://www.bx.psu.edu/miller_lab as the third item under "Software". There is also a link from there to documentation. One further point... Inbar refers to lastz as a "multiple sequence alignment tool". This is not correct, it is purely a pairwise aligner. For multiple sequence alignment you could use multiz or TBA, which are also available at the Miller Lab webpage. Bob H On Oct 13, 2010, at 6:28 AM, Abhay Krishna wrote:
Yes Lastz is available for NGS Roche 454 platform in stable version of Galaxy whether it is still available for generic multiple sequence alignment, I dont know.
