- Gblocks is a program written in ANSI C language that eliminates poorly
- aligned positions and divergent regions of an alignment of DNA or
- protein sequences. 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.
