Trim multiple sequence alignments using ClipKIT, trimAl, BMGE, Divvier, or HMMcleaner with mode selection guidance per downstream goal. Use when removing unreliable columns or contaminating residues before phylogenetic inference, HMM building, or selection analysis.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Version Compatibility Reference examples tested with: ClipKIT 2.1+, trimAl 1.4+, BMGE 1.12+, Divvier 1.01+, HMMcleaner (current CPAN release of `Bio::MUST::Apps::HmmCleaner`), BioPython 1.83+ Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ: - CLI: `clipkit --version`, `trimal --version`, `BMGE --help`, `Divvier --help` - Python: `pip show <package>` then `help(module.function)` to check signatures If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying. # Alignment Trimming **"Remove unreliable columns from this MSA"** -> Filter or split columns based on gap fraction, conservation, entropy, or per-residue quality. - CLI: `clipkit`, `trimal`, `BMGE`, `Divvier`, `HMMcleaner` - Python: post-process via Bio.AlignIO with custom column masks **"Make this alignment publication-grade for phylogenetics"** -> Apply ClipKIT's `kpic-smart-gap` mode, or trimAl `-automated1`, then verify via tree-stability comparison before vs after trimming. …

How to install
mdr add fridrichmethod/awesome-skills/bio-alignment-trimming@sha256:91b55523ac6ac653The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260712.2ff971b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
