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.
