Hi Thanks for sharing this tool.
After installation when running the example I get the following error:

$ synthego_ice --control ./ice/tests/test_data/good_example_control.ab1 --edited ./ice/tests/test_data/good_example_edited.ab1 --target AACCAGTTGCAGGCGCCCCA --out results/testing --verbose

I'd appreciate your help in troubleshooting this.

Hi, I've encoutered the same error message. I tried change 'format' to 'format' for analysis.py, sanger_analysis.py and pair_alignment.py, but it did not work. How did you solve it?

change format to __format__

I do not understand what do you mean by change format to __format__. In which file I need to change it?

Hi folks.
Actually changing 'format' to 'format' doesn't help.
Have anybody found the solution?

I was able to get around this issue with
pip install biopython==1.78
MultipleSeqAlignment.format was deprecated and removed after biopython v1.78 (docs)
