Hello!
I just wanted to let everyone know that Silicon Graphics has
parallelized CLUSTALW 1.74 for SGI systems running IRIX 6.2 and
higher. It is freely available for download from this site:
http://www.sgi.com/chembio/resources/clustalw/
Also available on this site is more information on running
CLUSTALW on SGI systems, including a General FAQ List,
Technical FAQ List, Porting Notes, and a Known Problems and
Fixes page. You may also be interested in our Bioinformatics
Benchmark Report, which has performance information on FASTA,
BLAST (including High Throughput BLAST, which is a modification
of the original versions of BLAST, designed to run efficiently
in a high throughput environment), and now CLUSTALW:
http://www.sgi.com/chembio/resources/bioinformatics/clw1.html
Please note that our parallelized CLUSTALW incorporates a bug
fix for a memory access bug in the original CLUSTALW distribution,
so the scores and alignments you get with our parallelized CLUSTALW
may be different from those you get with the original CLUSTALW.
This bug has been reported to the authors of CLUSTALW, and more
information about this bug is available on the Known Problems &
Fixes page for CLUSTALW:
http://www.sgi.com/chembio/resources/clustalw/problems_and_fixes.html
Thanks, and please do let me know if you have any questions!
