# MAFFT Module

This module provides a Julia wrapper for [MAFFT](http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/).
This module provides a Julia wrapper for [MAFFT](http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/) (Multiple alignment program for amino acid or nucleotide sequences).

Tested with MAFFT v7.215 (2014/12/17)

## Usage
