And ClustalX from :
ftp://ftp-igbmc.u-strasbg.fr/pub/ClustalX/
Don't be confuse by the name, it does NOT require Xwindow
interface. It uses the vibrant libraries and is available for
the most popular platforms (Most unix, Mac and MS).
Also, playing with the colprot.par and colprint.par files
can make a pretty good output in postscript. The postscript output
is a new feature of ClustalX also.
For those who are using phylowin or seaview from a
clustal output, if you had to compile clustal, set
#define MAXNAMES 10
in the clustalw.h file.
This should be the default (I have to check...).
Else some error in seaview and phylowin display were reported
(spaces in the alignment...).
Sorry for this obscur part of the Clustal format definition.
If you sea such problems and can't recompile clustal, just save
your alignment in another format that seaview or phylowin can read
(GDE or MSF format, if I remember well).
Regards,
Francois.
