OMA 0.98 – Optimal Multiple Sequence Alignment

OMA 0.98

:: DESCRIPTION

OMA (Optimal Multiple Sequence Alignment) is a library of C++-classes for the optimal alignment of sequences, built upon the Library of Efficient Data structures and Algorithms (LEDA). The parts of the library build a hierarchical, modular system, so that one can rearrange blocks or replace predefined modules by ones own classes.

DCA 1.1 – Divide-and-Conquer Multiple Sequence Alignment

DCA 1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

DCA (Divide-and-Conquer Multiple Sequence Alignment) is a program for producing fast, high quality simultaneous multiple sequence alignments of amino acid, RNA, or DNA sequences. The program is based on the DCA algorithm, a heuristic approach to sum-of-pairs (SP) optimal alignment that has been developed at the FSPM over the years 1995-97.

Dialign 2.2.1 / DIALIGN-TX 1.0.2 – Multiple Sequence Alignments

Dialign 2.2.1 / DIALIGN-TX 1.0.2

:: DESCRIPTION

DIALIGN is a novel alignment program based on segment-to-segment comparison.It is especially suited to detect local similarities among distantly related sequences.DIALIGN constructs pairwise and multiple alignments by comparing entire segments of the sequences. No gap penalty is used. This approach can be used for both global and local alignment, but it is particularly successful in situations where sequences share only local homologies.

DIALIGN-TX is a substantial improvement of DIALIGN-T that combines greedy and progressive alignment strategies in a new algorithm. DIALIGN-T is a reimplementation of the multiple-alignment program DIALIGN. Due to several algorithmic improvements, it produces significantly better alignments on locally and globally related sequence sets than previous versions of DIALIGN. However, like the original implementation of the program, DIALIGN-T uses a a straight-forward greedy approach to assemble multiple alignments from local pairwise sequence similarities. Such greedy approaches may be vulnerable to spurious random similarities and can therefore lead to suboptimal results.

Clustal Omega 1.2.4 – Multiple Sequence Alignment

Clustal Omega 1.2.4

:: DESCRIPTION

Clustal Omega is a multiple sequence alignment program for proteins. The accuracy of the package on smaller test cases is similar to that of the high-quality aligners. On larger data sets, Clustal Omega outperforms other packages in terms of execution time and quality. Clustal Omega also has powerful features for adding sequences to and exploiting information in existing alignments, making use of the vast amount of precomputed information in public databases like Pfam.
