Converting File Formats

Having the proper data file format is essential as many programs can only input certain file types. The following are some of the input and output file formats for specific programs.

CLUSTAL file format:

  • Programs that input this file type: Clustal W/X
  • Programs that output this file type: Clustal W/X, T-Coffee

    FASTA file format:

  • Programs that input this file type: Clustal W/X, GCG (SeqLab), MAFFT, T-Coffee
  • Programs that output this file type: Clustal W/X, GCG (SeqLab), MAFFT, T-Coffee

    GCG-MSF file format:

  • Programs that input this file type: Clustal W/X, GCG (SeqLab)
  • Programs that output this file type: Clustal W/X, GCG (SeqLab), T-Coffee

    NEXUS file format:

  • Programs that input this file type: BEAUti, GARLI, Modeltest, MrBayes, PAUP*
  • Programs that output this file type: Clustal W/X, GCG,PAUP*

    PHYLIP file format:

  • Programs that input this file type: GARLI, Lamarc, Migrate-n, PAML, PHYLIP
  • Programs that output this file type: Clustal W/X, PAUP*, PHYLIP

    PIR file format:

  • Programs that input this file type: Clustal W/X, GCG (SeqLab)
  • Programs that output this file type: Clustal W/X, GCG (SeqLab), T-Coffee

    FILE CONVERSION PROGRAMS

  • ReadSeq can convert all of the above data file types.
  • DataConvert 1.0 can convert CLUSTAL, FASTA, MEGA, NEXUS, and PHYLIP data file types for both Macintosh and Windows platforms.
