MView, release 1.49
http://bio-mview.sourceforge.net
MView is a tool for converting the results of a sequence database search
into the form of a multiple alignment of hits stacked against the query.
Existing multiple alignments can be post-processed in the same way. A
typical application is the generation of a coloured Web page from a
BLAST or FASTA search complete with scoring information, or from a
CLUSTAL alignment allowing quick assessment in a Web browser in terms of
sequence conservation patterns. It can also be used as a format converter.

Changes in this release include:
o relocation to SourceForge
o change to GPL license
For other changes since the last release, see the CHANGES file in the
distribution.

MView allows filtering of the input by score, e-value thresholds,
psi-blast search cycle, etc., provides a choice of colouring schemes and
palettes for protein or nucleotide sequences, and can generate consensus
patterns.
Currently recognised input formats include:
NCBI BLAST (2.0 series)
blastp, blastn, blastx, tblastn, tblastx, psi-blast
NCBI BLAST (1.4 series)
blastp, blastn, blastx, tblastn, tblastx
WashU BLAST2 (2.0)
blastp, blastn, blastx, tblastn, tblastx
FASTA (3.0 series)
fasta3, tfastx3
FASTA (2.0 series)
fasta, tfastx
MaxHom/HSSP
Pearson/fasta, PIR, MSF, CLUSTAL
Alternative output formats are also supported: plain text,
Pearson.fasta, PIR, and MSF, for export to other programs. See the Web
page for the most recent information.
This software requires Perl (version 5) and runs on UNIX/Linux systems.
