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.

I would contact someone at IG. I found the program worked OK with a little thought beforehand as to what you will feed it. ---------- Dag Ton 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. tot zeins (sp?); Francis means 'Tot ziens' (goodbye) :-) Francis Ouellette British Columbia, on the west coast of Canada ----------- 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. -Peter Markiewicz ----------- A big thank you to al these people. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______ ___ Thon de Boer (deboer@bio.vu.nl) / /__/ Dept. of Microbiological physiology // __ __ _ __ / \ __ __ __ Vrije Universiteit, Biological Faculty //-- / // / / \ /_/ / // //_// ' Boelelaan 1087 // //_// / /__//_ /___//_//_ / Amsterdam, The Netherlands -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
