GeneAlign: Java Application Software for Multiple Sequence Alignment Editor

Multiple sequence alignment is the basis for sequence analysis. If multiple sequence alignment is not correct, the results of the further analysis might be meaningless. Though we can easily perform multiple sequence alignment by several multiple sequence alignment programs, usually we have to modify the alignment in detail by hands for a further analysis. For this purpose, we have developed GeneAlign which enable us to modify the sequence alignment mainly using mouse buttons in addition to automatic alignment using clustalw [1].
