    Abstract BackgroundAdding sequences into an existing (possibly user-provided) alignment has multiple applications, including updating a large alignment with new data, adding sequences into a constraint alignment constructed using biological knowledge, or computing alignments in the presence of sequence length heterogeneity. Although this is a natural problem, only a few tools have been developed to use this information with high fidelity. ResultsWe present EMMA (Extending Multiple alignments using MAFFT--add) for the problem of adding a set of unaligned sequences into a multiple sequence alignment (i.e., a constraint alignment). EMMA builds on MAFFT--add, which is also designed to add sequences into a given constraint alignment. EMMA improves on MAFFT--add methods by using a divide-and-conquer framework to scale its most accurate version, MAFFT-linsi--add, to constraint alignments with many sequences. We show that EMMA has an accuracy advantage over other techniques for adding sequences into alignments under many realistic conditions and can scale to large datasets with high accuracy (hundreds of thousands of sequences). EMMA is available athttps://github.com/c5shen/EMMA. ConclusionsEMMA is a new tool that provides high accuracy and scalability for adding sequences into an existing alignment.

    Free-energy perturbation simulations transform residues of phospholamban into alanine (e.g.Leu44to Ala44). Free-energy calculations provide insights into the formation of a hetero-dimeric membrane transport complex.

    PremiseThe digitization of natural history collections includes transcribing specimen label data into standardized formats. Born‐digital specimen data initially gathered in digital formats do not need to be transcribed, enabling their efficient integration into digitized collections. Modernizing field collection methods for born‐digital workflows requires the development of new tools and processes. Methods and ResultscollNotes, a mobile application, was developed for Android andiOSto supplement traditional field journals. Designed for efficiency in the field, collNotes avoids redundant data entries and does not require cellular service. collBook, a companion desktop application, refines field notes into database‐ready formats and produces specimen labels. ConclusionscollNotes and collBook can be used in combination as a field‐to‐database solution for gathering born‐digital voucher specimen data for plants and fungi. Both programs are open source and use common file types simplifying either program's integration into existing workflows.
