NAME

       clustalw - a multiple sequence alignment program

SYNOPSIS

       clustalw [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the clustalx command.  This manual page was written for the Debian
       GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it  has  other
       documentation; see below.

       clustalx  is  a  windows  interface  for the ClustalW multiple sequence alignment program. It provides an
       integrated environment for performing multiple sequence and profile alignments and analysing the results.
       The sequence alignment is displayed in a window on the screen.  A  versatile  coloring  scheme  has  been
       incorporated  allowing you to highlight conserved features  in the alignment.  The pull-down menus at the
       top of the window allow you to select all the options required  for  traditional  multiple  sequence  and
       profile alignment.

       You  can  cut-and-paste  sequences  to  change  the  order  of  the alignment; you can select a subset of
       sequences to be aligned; you can select a sub-range of the alignment to be realigned  and  inserted  back
       into the original alignment.

       Alignment  quality  analysis  can  be  performed  and low-scoring segments or exceptional residues can be
       highlighted.

       Files in /usr/share/doc/clustalx contain a lot of details. The Web page <http://www.clustal.org/> is also
       helpful.
