Converting File Formats

Having the proper data file format is essential as many programs can only input certain file types. This page serves as a reference for file formats that can be inputted and outputted for several of the software programs used in the workshop.

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.
