belvu

multiple sequence alignment viewer and phylogenetic tool

Description

Belvu is a multiple sequence alignment viewer and phylogenetic tool with an extensive set of user-configurable modes to color residues.

* View multiple sequence alignments.

* Residues can be coloured by conservation, with user-configurable

cutoffs and colours.

* Residues can be coloured by residue type (user-configurable).

* Colour schemes can be imported or exported.

* Swissprot (or PIR) entries can be fetched by double clicking.

* The position in the alignment can be easily tracked.

* Manual deletion of rows and columns.

* Automatic editing of rows and columns based on customisable criteria:

- removal of all-gap columns;

- removal of all gaps;

- removal of redundant sequences;

- removal of a column by a user-specified percentage of gaps;

- filtering of sequences by percent identity;

- removal of sequences by a user-specified percentage of gaps;

- removal of partial sequences (those starting or ending with

gaps); and

- removal of columns by conservation (with user-specified

upper/lower cutoffs).

* The alignment can be saved in Stockholm, Selex, MSF or FASTA format.

* Distance matrices between sequences can be generated using a variety

of distance metrics.

* Distance matrices can be imported or exported.

* Phylogenetic trees can be constructed based on various distance-based

tree reconstruction algorithms.

* Trees can be saved in New Hampshire format.

* Belvu can perform bootstrap phylogenetic reconstruction.
