You might want to give Andrew Rambaut's multiple alignment editor "Se-Al"
<http://evolve.zoo.ox.ac.uk/Se-Al/Se-Al.html> a try. This is a
Mac only program for compiling, manipulating and editing multiple sequence
alignments. It currently features on the fly translation of protein-coding
DNA (so that you can edit the amino-acid alignment and the underlying
nucleotides will be aligned accordingly). You can drag regions and
copy and paste. Searching for motifs is a bit primative. It's under
development at the moment.
Alternatively, ClustalX has some minor editing features:
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk//pub/software/mac/clustalw/clustalx/clustalx1.64b.PPC.sea.Hqx
and is worth a look anyway for its GUI on top of ClustalW.
Seqpup/SeqApp was already mentioned, so I won't go into that.
cheers,
Edwin
