Shannon entropy calculation for amino acid multiple sequence alignment
This repository contains a Python script to calculate Shannon entropy for an amino acid multiple sequence alignment. It supports a scientific manuscript, Crespo-Bellido et al. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.08.565637v1
The python code was simplified slightly from code written by Erik Lavington: https://github.com/elavington/CRESS-DNA-virus Very similar code was used for a paper by Dubey et al. (2023; https://doi.org/jhz5).
