A little while ago I asked if someone knew of programs that can do multiple
(more than three) alignments of sequences.
Below are some of the responses I got.
Must of the programs run on MSDOS machines, but I am looking for a program
which can run on a Macintosh or on a UNIX machine.
I read something a while ago in this newsgroup about a program that could
align up to 99 sequences which ran under UNIX.
Does anyone know this program and if it is in the public domain ?
Thanks in advance,
Thon de Boer

I use a program called Multalin on an DOS machine to do multiple sequence
alignments. The program was written by Florence Corpet (France) and
written up in NAR a couple of years ago. Let me know if you want more
information on this program. I also prefer to use a Macintosh, please
let me know what you find out about doing multiple sequence alignment on
the Mac.

The only one I know about is GENALIGN which is available in the
Intelligenetics suite and also independently, but I'm not sure how to get
it. I would contact someone at IG. I found the program worked OK with
a little thought beforehand as to what you will feed it.

There is a program which will align at least 10 seqhences, but
it runs on the PC. It is called CLUSTALL, and it is available
on the EML server. If you are interested I will send you more
info.

With reference to your question about alignment:
Nobody has ever written a alignment editor for the mac.
I am making a version of CLUSTAL that (hopefully) won't conflict with
IGs copyright. I got the source direct from the authors, and am creating
a different interface for it.

There is a French soft called DNA STRIDER but I don't know yet if it does multiple alignements. You can a sk by e-mail TAN@FRCITI who uses it sometimes Lucien Bachner Paris France
