MAFFT is a multiple sequence alignment program for UNIX-like operating systems. It offers a range of multiple alignment methods, L-INS-i (accurate; for alignment of <∼200 sequences), FFT-NS-2 (fast; for alignment of <∼30,000 sequences), etc.

For more information, visit the official MAFFT website.

Programming language: C
