+MUSCLE 5: Next-generation MUSCLE
+
+Muscle v5 is a major re-write of MUSCLE based on new algorithms.
+
+* Highest accuracy, scalable to thousands of sequences:
+Compared to previous versions, Muscle v5 is much more accurate, is often
+faster, and scales to much larger datasets. At the time of writing (late
+2021), Muscle v5 has the highest scores on multiple alignment benchmarks
+including Balibase, Bralibase, Prefab and Balifam. It can align tens of
+thousands of sequences with high accuracy on a low-cost commodity
+computer (say, an 8-core Intel CPU with 32 Gb RAM). On large datasets,
+Muscle v5 is 20-30% more accurate than MAFFT and Clustal-Omega.
+
+* Alignment ensembles:
+Muscle v5 can generate ensembles of high-accuracy alternative
+alignments. All replicates have equal average accuracy on benchmark
+test, including the MSA made with default parameters. By comparing
+results of downstream analysis (trees, structure prediction...) on
+different replicates, you can assess the effects of alignment errors on
+your study.
