The name stands for multiple sequence comparison by log-expectation. A range of options is provided that give you the choice of optimizing accuracy, speed, or some compromise between the two.

MUSCLE can achieve both better average accuracy and better speed than CLUSTALW or T-Coffee, depending on the chosen options. Citation: Edgar, R. C.
