clustalw
global multiple nucleotide or peptide sequence alignment
This program performs an alignment of multiple nucleotide or amino acid
sequences. It recognizes the format of input sequences and whether the
sequences are nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) or amino acid (proteins). The output
format may be selected from in various formats for multiple alignments such as
Phylip or FASTA. Clustal・・W is very well accepted.
The output of Clustal・・W can be edited manually but preferably with an
alignment editor like SeaView or within its companion Clustal・・X. When building
a model from your alignment, this can be applied for improved database
searches. The Debian package hmmer creates such in form of an HMM.
For details and citation purposes see paper "Clustal・・W and Clustal・・X version
2.0", Larkin M., et al. Bioinformatics 2007 23(21):2947-2948
