Properties

Name Type Description
adjustDirection string Adjust direction: * `fast`: Enabled, quickly. * `accurate`: Enabled, accurately (slow). * `disabled`: Disabled, fastest.
gapExtensionPenalty number Gap extension penalty.
gapOpenPenalty number Gap open penalty.
maxIterations integer Max refinement iterations. Not applicable for auto strategy, as it will be selected automatically.
retree integer Tree rebuilding. Only used for 6-mer strategy.
strategy string MAFFT Strategy: * `auto`: Pick a strategy automatically based on the count and size of inputs. * `sixmer`: Use 6-mer distance for constructing the guide tree. * `localpair`: Compute local pairwise ali
