MMoreseqs is a biological sequence alignment tool. Currently, only protein sequence alignment is supported.

MMoreseqs uses MMseqs2 to find rough alignment seeds to use as a starting point for a highly sensitive, bounded sequence alignment algorithm.

This project is the continuation of pilot work done by David Rich. The original codebase can be found here.

To build mmoreseqs from source, you'll first need to install Rust and Cargo. The easiest way to do that is to use rustup.

Once that's done, you can then build mmoreseqs:

git clone https://github.com/TravisWheelerLab/mmoreseqs
cd mmoreseqs/
cargo build --release

You'll then find the compiled binary at: target/release/mmoreseqs

For example, try running:

target/release/mmoreseqs -h

The input to MMoreseqs is a query multiple sequence alignment (stockholm) file and a target sequence (fasta) file. To run the MMoreseqs pipeline, use the mmoreseqs search command:

For example:

$ mmoreseqs search query.sto target.fa
