ALSCRIPT: a tool to format multiple sequence alignments

Abstract

The ALSCRIPT program described in this article was developed specifically to allow the easy formatting and graphical display of large multiple alignments. Although written originally for the author's use, the interface is relatively friendly, and should be easy to learn by anyone familiar with plotting graphs
