PPalign

PPalign:

PPalign [1] performs Potts to Potts alignments of proteins taking into account residues coevolution. It relies on the efficient Integer Linear Programming solver originally designed by Wohlers, Andonov, Klau, Malod-Dognin and Yanev for protein structure alignment [2,3] to provide sequence alignments and similarity scores in tractable time.

Supplementary data

The benchmark for paper [1] is available here.
Each Potts models was built using the following command (replacing sequence.fasta with the path of the sequence file and uniclust30_2018_08 with the path of UniClust30 database):
makepotts -s sequence.fasta -fetch -d uniclust30_2018_08 --trimal_gt 0.5 --insert_null_at_trimmed -f output_folder
