Thanks for this really useful library! I'm trying to find the code you have used to compare ClipKIT with other methods (the graphs shown here).

if you have written any wrappers around trimAI, Gblocks (whose source code I cant seem to find) and BMGE, could you please share them too?

Hi @sen-pai,

Thank you for writing and for using ClipKIT!

With respect to the desirability-based framework for ranking, I used the general framework detailed, including R code, here: integRATE from Eidem et al. (2018) BMC Medical Genomics.

For trimAl, I used: trimal -in <inputfile> -out <outputfile> -gappyout; trimal -in <inputfile> -out <outputfile> -strict; and trimal -in <inputfile> -out <outputfile> -strictplus.

For GBlocks, I used default parameters. I, too, am having trouble finding the source code since the original domain seems to be stalling. However, I found this link to a web portal version http://phylogeny.lirmm.fr/phylo_cgi/one_task.cgi?task_type=gblocks.

I hope this helps!
