.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This manual page documents briefly the
.BR clustalx
command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
Instead, it has other documentation; see below.

.B clustalx
is a windows interface for the ClustalW multiple sequence alignment
program. It provides an integrated environment for performing multiple sequence
and profile alignments and analysing the results. The sequence alignment is
displayed in a window on the screen. A versatile coloring scheme has been
incorporated allowing you to highlight conserved features in the alignment.
The pull-down menus at the top of the window allow you to select all the
options required for traditional multiple sequence and profile alignment.
.P
You can cut-and-paste sequences to change the order of the alignment; you can
select a subset of sequences to be aligned; you can select a sub-range of the
alignment to be realigned and inserted back into the original alignment.
.P
Alignment quality analysis can be performed and low-scoring segments or
exceptional residues can be highlighted.
