[Feature Request] Seamless phylogenetic tree building from sequences using ClustalO wrapper

Open HLWeil opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Using the ClustalOWrapper in automatic combination with the Clustal File Parser, one can seamlessly integrate ClustalO in an FSharp scripting workflow. ClustalO offers other outputs too.

Describe the solution you'd like Other output types could be directly calles and parsed back to the FSharp runtime. An example for this are the phylogenetic clusterings ClustalO can create. The standard tree output is already supported by BioFSharp in form of the Newick parser. Therefore additionally to the AlignSequences member, the ClustalO wrapper could easily be extended with a ClusterSequences or PhylogeneticTreeOfSequences.

A better idea regarding the name would be highly appreciated..
