CLUSTAL: multiple DNA or protein sequence alignment software. I am distributing a program for performing multiple sequence alignments. This is a VAX/VMS Fortran version of a package that I normally distribute on floppy disk for PC's. The program can handle up to 100 sequences of max. length 5000 residues. In cases where the sequences to be aligned are reasonably similar, the results are excellent and very difficult to improve by eye. Also, the alignments are very fast for short sequences (say 500 residues or less). To get the VAX version, send me a mail message at the e-mail adress below and I will send it to you. If you have difficulties mailing me, give me a call and I may be able to mail you. If you want the PC version, send me 1 high density (1.2 mb.) 5.25 inch, formatted diskette or 3 low density (360 kb.) diskettes.
