Where this comes from

Abstract

Analyzing and visualizing multiple sequence alignments is a common task in many areas of molecular biology and bioinformatics. Many tools exist for this purpose, but are not easily customizable for specific in-house uses. Here we report the development of an editor, CINEMA-MX, that addresses these issues. CINEMA-MX is highly modular and configurable, and we present examples to illustrate its extensibility. The program and full source code, which are available from http://www.bioinf.man.ac.uk/dbbrowser/cinema-mx, are being released under a combination of the LGPL and GPL, for Unix or Windows platforms.
