Convert a ACE assembly contigs sequence file to Mauve XMFA alignment.

Maximum file size: 50 MB. The file is checked before conversion.

ACE assembly contigs → Mauve XMFA alignment

  • Contig sequences are extracted. Read placement and assembly details are not preserved.
  • The output keeps sequence letters but removes per-base quality scores.
  • The selected output is an alignment format. Every sequence must be the same length and already aligned. This does not create an alignment.

About this conversion

The converter reads records in the input format and writes them in the output format. Data that the output format cannot store may be lost. The notes under the Convert file button list the important limits for this pair.

Run it with Biopython

For batch work, you can use Biopython's SeqIO.convert function. This pair needs no molecule type argument.

from Bio import SeqIO

count = SeqIO.convert("input.ace", "ace",
                      "output.mauve", "mauve")
print("Converted %i records" % count)
