Mauve

Mauve website

Mauve is a system for efficiently constructing multiple genome alignments in the presence of large-scale evolutionary events such as rearrangement and inversion. Multiple genome alignment provides a basis for research into comparative genomics and the study of evolutionary dynamics. Aligning whole genomes is a fundamentally different problem than aligning short sequences.

System Variables

  • HPC_MAUVE_DIR - installation directory
  • HPC_MAUVE_BIN - executable directory
  • HPC_MAUVE_DOC - documentation directory

Run export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx<MEMORY>" where is the maximum heap memory size to be used by Java for Mauve in Gigabytes (g) or Megabytes (m). This will override the initial setting of 500m e.g. "500m" or "2g".
