This repository contains the scripts written to solve the multiple sequence alignment problem via a crowd-sourcing human computing platform - Phylo Data obtained was extracted from this platform.
An alignment comparison was made between a classic progressive algorithm and a sequence alignment heuristic like TCoffee, with no clear conclusion or correlation between sequence features (eg. length, GC content, size) and how well either algorithms performed.
Plots can be seen in the iPython notebook labelled Phylo plots.ipynb.
