Some software (e.g. CLUSTAL W, GCG) in this section is specific for doing the sequence alignment of proteins and DNA. Others(e.g. GCG, PHYLIP) are for searching for the evolutionary relationship between of gene (or protein) sequence from an organism and that from other organisms. Few such as "ConSurf" is for analysis of Functional Regions in Proteins using Phylogenetic Information.

3dSEARCH is a web-based program which does Protein Structure Alignment using the secondary structure superposition techniques.

FPS is a web-based program which allows you to search a library of protein families with a protein sequence, GCG profile or BLAST checkpoint file that you provide. Your query will be analyzed at the San Diego Supercomputer Center using the Family Pairwise Search (FPS) algorithm, a method for scoring a biological sequence, GCG profile or BLAST checkpoint file against a family of sequences.

GBuilder is a Java application that is designed for the analysis and visualisation of collections and assemblies of sequences, e.g. from EST and high-throughput genomic sequencing. To access databases of sequence data and sequence analysis applications, GBuilder uses CORBA to connect to database servers located at the EBI.

GCG is a software package for the analyses of gene and protein sequences on unix machines. The GCG package for sequence analysis contains over 100 interrelated software programs. It enables scientists to analyze DNA and protein sequences by editing, mapping, comparing, and aligning them. This program is available for commercial uses.

NW is an implementation of the Needleman and Wunsch dynamic programming sequence alignment algorithm. It reads PIR format sequence files and reports sequence similarity calculated in a number of different ways. Optionally it can generate a PIR format alignment file. NW is freely available for use by not-for-profit organisations. Commerical use is not permitted without the permission of the author. It is supplied as a gzipped tar file of source code.

Protein Colourer is a tool for colouring your amino acid sequences. The default settings will colour the sequence by the hydrophobicity of the amino acids. You can set the colouring scheme by changing the lists associated with each colour. Another scheme could be used to colour the amino acids by size.
