I have a large concatenated protein multiple sequence alignment. One of the species have many undetermined 'X' amino acid. Such column will probably not add much phylogenetic signal so I want to remove all such column (that contain any X) from my alignment file.

I did it

You should tell us how or it did not happen
On a serious note MEGA or ClustalW should have been able to do it.Comment

The inclusion of "X" into a MSF file is the consequence of having applied a filter for low complexity sequences present into your protein
You can make the choice of turning on or off such as filtering before the actual aligment is doneComment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
