These positions may not be homologous or may have +been saturated by multiple substitutions and it is convenient to +eliminate them prior to phylogenetic analysis. + +The use of a program such as Gblocks reduces the necessity of manually +editing multiple alignments, makes the automation of phylogenetic +analysis of large data sets feasible and, finally, facilitates the +reproduction of the alignments and subsequent phylogenetic analysis by +other researchers. Gblocks is very fast in processing alignments and +it is therefore highly suitable for large-scale phylogenetic analyses. + +This just repackages the binaries provided from upstream. |
