SeaView is a multiplatform, graphical user interface for multiple
|
|
sequence alignment and molecular phylogeny. Important features are:
|
|
|
|
1) SeaView reads and writes various file formats (NEXUS, MSF, CLUSTAL,
|
|
FASTA, PHYLIP, MASE, Newick) of DNA and protein sequences and of
|
|
phylogenetic trees.
|
|
|
|
2) SeaView drives programs muscle or Clustal Omega (clustalo) for
|
|
multiple sequence alignment, and also allows to use any external
|
|
alignment algorithm able to read and write FASTA-formatted files.
|
|
|
|
3) Seaview drives the Gblocks program to select blocks of
|
|
evolutionarily conserved sites.
|
|
|
|
4) SeaView computes phylogenetic trees by
|
|
a) parsimony, using PHYLIP's dnapars/protpars algorithm
|
|
b) distance, with NJ or BioNJ algorithms on a variety of
|
|
evolutionary distances,
|
|
c) maximum likelihood, driving program PhyML
|
|
|
|
5) SeaView prints and draws phylogenetic trees on screen, SVG, PDF or
|
|
PostScript files.
|
|
|
|
6) SeaView allows to download sequences from EMBL/GenBank/UniProt
|
|
using the Internet.
